Job Description

Amazon Sortation Centre Warehouse Associate

Job Overview

You’ll be part of the dedicated Amazon team that is the first stop on the journey from the warehouse. Our fast-paced roles take place in a Sortation Centre. You will be sorting, scanning, and stacking packages on pallets, helping to get customer orders ready for delivery. We offer both full-time and part-time schedules, but because most of the shifts are part-time, you are in control of your schedule — choose shifts that work best for you now and adjust in the future, as needed.

Duties & Responsibilities

Some of your duties may include:
  1. Receive and sort inventory
  2. Get customer orders ready for delivery
  3. Use technology like scanners, computers, and handheld printers
You’ll also need to be able to:
  1. Lift up to 49 pounds (22 kg)
  2. Stand, walk, push, pull, squat, bend, and reach during shifts
  3. Use carts, dollies, hand trucks, and other gear to move items around
  4. Go up and down stairs (where applicable)
  5. Work at a height of up to 40 feet (12m) on a mezzanine (where applicable)

What it’s like at an Amazon Sortation Centre

  1. Safety. Your safety is important to us. All teams share safety tips daily and we make sure protective gear is available onsite. Please note, wearing a hard hat and/or safety shoes while working is a requirement for some roles at certain sites.
  2. Surroundings. You’ll be working around moving machines – order pickers, stand-up forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts.
  3. Activity. Some activities may require standing in one place for long periods, walking around, or climbing stairs.
  4. Temperature. Even with climate controls, temperatures can vary between 15°C and 30°C in some parts of the warehouse; on hot days, temperatures can be over 30°C in the truck yard or inside trailers.
  5. Noise level. It can get noisy at times. We provide hearing protection if you need it.
  6. 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. All employees who work in areas that require safety shoes will be given a subsidy for one pair each year.
