Perks of working with Amazon
• Competitive pay, higher than many similar jobs
• Shift patterns that work for you
• A safe, modern, and organized workplace
• Free hot drinks, affordable meals, and multiple break areas.
• Strong health and safety measures in place for COVID-19: increased cleaning, screens, social distancing, free face masks, hand sanitizer, and more.
As a member of the Amazon warehouse staff, you will be in charge of your customers’ orders. Before you check each new order, the goods have to first be stored in the warehouse, so make sure you receive the new inventory. After that, you can check new orders, find the required goods, pack them, and send them on their merry way. This part of the job may include some heavy lifting because you and your colleagues will have to load boxes for shipment.
In order to work in an Amazon warehouse, you will have to appreciate the sheer size and complexity of it. Some orders might be heavy, so lifting boxes shouldn’t be a problem for you. Physical fitness overall should be your priority for this job as very often it is required to walk, bend, or reach. Even if you are not at your best, soon you will become.
Being physically fit is not the only requirement/ability you will gain. If you haven’t already mastered it, you will also learn to operate different warehouse equipment, even receive training for operating some specific machinery. By using lifts, pickers, or carts, you will also find yourself high above the ground (some goods might be placed on top shelves), so not having fear of heights can also come in handy.
Skills you need to bring:
• Your safety comes first. You must be able to follow safety, quality, and production standards.
• You may stand and walk for a long time, this could be more than 8 hours per shift.
• You may need to lift and move products that weigh up to 23kg.
• You may need to be able to lift, bend, twist, kneel and crouch.
• You may need to be able to handle a full range of Amazon products, including alcohol and pork products.
