Job Description:

Amazon Delivery Station Warehouse Associate

Job Overview

You’ll be part of the dedicated Amazon team at the delivery station – the last stop before we deliver smiles to customers. Our fast-paced, physical roles receive trucks full of orders, then prepare them for delivery. You’ll load conveyer belts, and transport and stage deliveries to be picked up by drivers. You may even be part of the team that works with larger items, such as large screen TVs, furniture, and appliances, and be trained on how to use technology to handle these heavy bulk items.
Duties & Responsibilities
Some of your duties may include:
  1. Receive and prepare inventory for delivery
  2. Use technology like smartphones and handheld devices to sort, scan, and prepare orders
  3. View prompts on screens and follow direction for some tasks
  4. Build, wrap, sort, and transport pallets and packages
  5. Receive truck deliveries
You’ll also need to be able to:
  1. Lift up to 49 pounds
  2. Stand, walk, push, pull, squat, bend, and reach during shifts
  3. Use carts, dollies, hand trucks, and other gear to move items around
  4. Go up and down stairs (where applicable)
  5. Work at a height of up to 40 feet on a mezzanine (where applicable)
What it’s like inside an Amazon Delivery Station
  1. Safety. Your safety is important to us, so we provide protective gear. All teams share safety tips daily.
  2. Surroundings. You’ll be working around moving machines – order pickers, stand-up forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts.
  3. Activity. Some activities may require standing in one place for long periods, walking around, or climbing stairs.
  4. 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.
  5. Noise level. It can get noisy at times. We provide hearing protection if you need it.
  6. Dress code. Relaxed with a few rules to follow for safety. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required.
Why You will Love this Job
  1. Stay busy. You and your team are engaged the entire shift.
  2. Schedule options. Full-time (40 hours), reduced-time (30-36 hours) or part-time (20 hours), depending on location. Some roles offer set schedules and others will allow you to set your own schedule weekly.
  3. Flexible shifts. Depending on your schedule, shift times will vary to ensure we meet customer-promised delivery times. Extra hours may be added to your schedule depending on business activity. Some locations allow you to set your own schedule on a weekly basis.
  4. Career Development. We have made a pledge to upskill our employees and offer a variety of free training and development programs, and we also have tuition reimbursement options for select employee groups. See where your Amazon journey can take you.
  5. New skills. Depending on the role and location, you’ll learn how to use the latest Amazon technology – including handheld devices and robotics.
  6. Team environment. Work on small or large teams that support each other.
