Amazon Sortation Center Warehouse Associate ID-10884
About the position
As an Amazon Sortation Center Warehouse Associate, you will be an integral part of a dedicated team responsible for the initial phase of the delivery process. This fast-paced role involves sorting, scanning, and stacking packages on pallets to prepare customer orders for delivery. The position is designed to offer flexibility, with most shifts being part-time, allowing you to choose the hours that best fit your schedule. You will have the opportunity to adjust your shifts as needed, providing a balance between work and personal commitments. Your daily responsibilities will include receiving and sorting inventory, preparing customer orders for delivery, and utilizing technology such as scanners, computers, and handheld printers. Physical demands of the job require you to lift up to 49 pounds and engage in various movements such as standing, walking, pushing, pulling, squatting, bending, and reaching throughout your shifts. You may also need to navigate stairs and work at heights of up to 40 feet on a mezzanine, depending on the specific tasks assigned. At an Amazon Sortation Center, safety is a top priority. You will be provided with protective gear and will participate in daily safety discussions with your team. The work environment includes moving machinery, such as order pickers and forklifts, and can be noisy at times, with hearing protection available if needed. The temperature in the warehouse can vary, and while climate controls are in place, it may reach over 90°F in certain areas, particularly in the truck yard or inside trailers. The dress code is relaxed, but safety regulations require comfortable, closed-toe shoes, with Amazon offering a $110 gift code for shoe purchases to ensure you are prepared for your first day.
