Full-time/Part-time Associate - Oshkosh, WI, United States - Amazon Warehouse

Description

Amazon XL Warehouse Associate Job Overview You'll be part of the Amazon warehouse team that handles the big stuff – those unique customer orders that weigh over 50 pounds: big screen TVs, furniture, appliances, and more.

You'll be trained on how to use technology to handle these heavy bulk items.

Even if you haven't been a "power" player before, that won't limit you from gaining valuable job experience because – depending on the site – you may be trained to be a heavy equipment operator, using powered industrial trucks (PIT) such as a forklift or pallet driver.

Many shifts will have you at the helm of our power equipment getting orders ready for customers, but other times you'll be on the warehouse floor of our fulfillment centers, sortation centers, or delivery stations working with your teammates, tackling those hands-on items that need expert handling before they are sent along their delivery route.

Depending on the site, you may operate powered industrial trucks (PIT) that reaches heights up to 40 feet. Equipment training and certification are provided free of cost.

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.
