1. Warehouse Packer

Warehouse packers, sometimes called pickers, are in charge of getting packages ready for shipment from the storage warehouse. The number one duty of pickers is to retrieve the items on the invoice from the inventory, check that they are in good condition, wrap them securely, and pack them for shipping. You would also be updating the inventory to reflect items removed and weigh packages. Warehouse packing jobs do require physical strength and stamina to lift and pack heavy boxes and items.

2. Assembler/Assembly Line Worker

It’s always nice to have the opportunity to work indoors in the air conditioning - especially in the blistering hot summer months. An assembler is responsible for piecing together parts and following a set of instructions or schematics to achieve the goal. The assembler is also responsible for making sure that the correct quantities of components makes it to the final destination. Lastly they are responsible for checking completed items for quality, and managing parts inventory. There are various different types of assembler jobs but our team of dedicated recruiters can help you navigate that.
