Warehouse Associate

Amazon Warehouse


Date: 2 weeks ago
City: Knoxville, TN
Salary: $20 per hour
Contract type: Full time

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, active roles receive trucks full of orders, then prepare them for delivery. You’ll load conveyor belts, and transport and stage deliveries to be picked up by drivers.

Duties & Responsibilities

Some of your duties may include:

  • Receive and prepare inventory for delivery
  • Use technology like smartphones and handheld devices to sort, scan, and prepare orders
  • Build, wrap, sort, and transport pallets and packages

You’ll also need to be able to:

  • Lift up to 49 pounds
  • Receive truck deliveries
  • View prompts on screens and follow direction for some tasks
  • 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)

What it’s like at an Amazon Delivery Station

  • 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. Depending on the role or location, Amazon provides a $110 Zappos gift code towards the purchase of shoes, in order to have you prepared for your first day on the job.
