What this job will be like:
Be on the last stop before we deliver customer smiles! Delivery Station Team Members receive trucks full of orders then prepare them for delivery. As part of this team, you'll load conveyor belts and transport and stage deliveries to be picked up by drivers. Plus, you'll get to use the latest Amazon technology, like smartphones and handheld devices, to scan and sort the orders. These duties can rotate throughout the day, making each day a little different.

What it’s like inside the warehouse:
  • Your safety is important to us.
    • We’ll give you protective gear, such as a facial covering and safety vest to wear.
    • Temperature checks are being conducted at sites around the U.S. Anyone registering a temperature over the CDC-recommended 100.4F will be asked to return home and only come back to work after they’ve gone three days without a fever.
    • Associates are expected to follow social distancing guidelines, participate in safety exercises such as daily stretching and share safety tips with co-workers.
  • You will work around moving machines.
  • You’ll be on the move for your whole shift. Your shifts will include standing in one place for long periods, walking around, and climbing stairs. You will need to wear comfortable, closed-toed, flat shoes.
  • Even with climate controls, temperatures in some parts of our warehouses may vary between 60°F  and 90°F. Temperatures can go over 90°F in the truck yard or inside trailers on hot days.
  • It can get noisy. We will give you hearing protection, if you need it.
  • The dress code is relaxed with a few rules to follow for safety.
You will also need to be able to:
  • Lift up to 49 pounds
  • Stand, walk, push, pull, squat, bend, and reach during long shifts
  • Use carts, dollies, hand trucks, forklifts, order pickers, and other gear to move stuff around
  • Go up and down stairs (for sites with stairs)
  • Work at a height of up to 40 feet (for some sites)
Reasons you’ll love working here:
  • Health and safety is the top priority: We continue to consult with medical and health experts, and take all recommended precautions in our buildings to keep people healthy.
  • Earn more: You can expect a competitive wage and reliable pay check when you work for Amazon.
  • Career development: Many of our entry-level warehouse employees become leaders in operations, HR, and other areas. See where your Amazon journey can take you.
  • Teamwork environment: Work is more fun when you are part of a great team.
