Job Description

Job Overview

You’ll be part of the Amazon warehouse team that gets orders ready for customers relying on Amazon services. Our fast-paced, physical roles take place in a variety of areas including merch, make-on-demand, customer returns, Prime Now, and general fulfillment. You will be selecting, packing, and shipping orders – in some cases, for our super-fast (2-hour or less) delivery service.

Duties & Responsibilities

Some of your duties may include:

  • Receive and put away inventory
  • Get customer orders ready and pack them up
  • Load boxes into trucks for shipment
  • Use scanners to read bar codes on products
  • View prompts on screens and follow the direction for some tasks
  • Troubleshoot problems
  • Ensure product meets quality requirements
  • Operate powered industrial trucks (PIT) such as a forklift or pallet driver, and work at heights up to 40 feet. Equipment training and certification are provided free of cost.

You'll also need to be able to:

  • Lift up to 49 pounds
  • Push utility carts up to 60 pounds
  • Stand, walk, push, pull, squat, bend, and reach during shifts
  • Use carts, dollies, hand trucks, and other gear to move items around
  • Go up and down stairs (where applicable)
  • Work at a height of up to 40 feet on a mezzanine (where applicable)
  • Adhere to strict safety, quality, and fulfillment production standards

What it's like at an Amazon Fulfillment Center

  • Safety. Your safety is important to us, so we provide protective gear. All teams share safety tips daily.
  • Surroundings. You’ll be working around moving machines – order pickers, stand-up forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts.
  • Activity. Some activities may require standing in one place for long periods, walking around, or climbing stairs.
  • Temperature. Even with climate controls, temperatures can vary between 60°F and 90°F in some parts of the warehouse; on hot days, temperatures can be over 90°F in the truck yard or inside trailers.
  • Noise level. It can get noisy at times. We provide hearing protection if you need it.
  • Dress code. Relaxed, with a few rules to follow for safety. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required and protective safety footwear are required in select business units. Amazon provides a $110 Zappos gift code towards the purchase of shoes, to prepare for your first day on the job.

Why You’ll Love Amazon

  • Schedule flexibility. Depending on where you work, schedules may include full-time (40 hours), reduced-time (30-36 hours) or part-time (20 hours or less), with the option of working additional hours if needed.
  • Shift options. Work when it works for you. Shifts may include overnight, early morning, day, evening, and weekend. You can have four-day workweeks and three-day weekends.
  • Anytime Pay. Instantly cash out up to 70% of your earnings immediately after your shift (for select employee groups).
  • State-of-the-art facilities. Modern warehouses that are clean and well-organized.
  • Safety. Daily safety tips and protective gear provided.
  • Culture. Inclusive workplace with DEI programs and affinity groups.
  • Team environment. Supportive teams in a highly rated workplace.
  • New skills. Learn to use the latest Amazon technology – handheld devices and robotics.
  • Benefits. Range of benefits including pay and savings options, healthcare, and more.
  • Career advancement. Upskilling programs, free training, and development opportunities.

Requirements:

  • Candidates must be 18 years or older with the ability to understand and adhere to all job requirement and safety guidelines in English.
