Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Sorting and categorizing items according to their size, weight, and fragility facilitates efficient packing and loading onto shipping vehicles
  • Take advantage of innovative tools like smartphones and hand-held devices to categorize, examine, and collate orders
  • It is imperative to build, encase, sort, and transfer skids and parcels
  • Handle and transfer lightweight packages up to 49 lbs
  • Receive truck deliveries
  • Screen prompts can be particularly helpful for users with visual or hearing impairments, as they can rely on the screen to provide clear and easy-to-understand instructions
  • Your shifts are made up of standing tall, walking briskly, pushing with vigor, pulling with might, squatting low, bending your knees, and reaching far
  • To move items with ease, consider using carts, dollies, hand trucks, and other gear
  • Traverse up and down staircases (as needed)

  • Surroundings: As you work, you will be in the proximity of moving machines, including order pickers, raised forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts, in your work surroundings.
  • Activity: Partaking in sports may require remaining still in one spot, walking around, or scaling steps for a considerable time.
  • Temperature: The warehouse's temperature varies in different zones, with extremes reaching anywhere between 60°F and 90°F, and in some instances, beyond 90°F on hot days.
  • Noise level: The constant commotion here can be quite upsetting, prompting people to use protective gear that can help them cope with the noise level.
  • Dress code: Amazon's dress code policy enforces a relaxed work environment, but with a safety-oriented approach. Cozy, enclosed shoes are a must-have, and specific units require employees to wear protective footwear. On your inauguration day at Amazon, you can expect to receive a $110 Zappos gift certificate, which can be used to purchase shoes.

  • Work prospects that are flexible to accommodate all lifestyle needs, with state-of-the-art workplaces
  • Supportive colleagues and firm-led initiatives and perks
  • One of the standout features of this job is its lucrative pay and exceptional work-life balance

Requirements:

  • 18 Years and Above: The Required Age for Legal Matters
  • English language proficiency is critical to carrying out job responsibilities and complying with safety procedures
