Amazon • San Marcos, TX • 9h ago

Job Overview

You'll be part of the Amazon warehouse team that handles the big and heavy stuff-those unique customer orders that require powered industrial trucks (PIT) to move around the warehouse: big screen TVs, furniture, appliances, and more. Whether you're interested in working as a forklift operator, equipment operator, order picker, or reach truck operator, this position is perfect-you'll use powered industrial trucks (PIT) to move, stow, and retrieve extra-large items throughout the warehouse. You will learn to expertly handle packages and products before they are sent along their delivery route

Duties & Responsibilities

Some of your duties may include

Operate PIT at heights up to 45 feet

Use PIT to locate, retrieve, and store large inventory items and customer orders in their designated warehouse locations

Handle extra-large items that weigh over 50 pounds through multiple warehouse processes: stowing, picking, loading, and unloading

Safely maneuver heavy items using carts, dollies and pallet jacks while loading and unloading trailers

Use handheld technology to track and maintain accurate inventory records

You'll also need to be able to

Lift up to 49 pounds

Use safe practices and methods to handle products heavier than 50 pounds

Stand and walk, as well as push, pull, squat, bend, and reach frequently during shifts

Use carts, dollies, hand trucks, and other gear to move items around

Go up and down stairs (where applicable)

Meet daily performance goals while following all safety procedures

What it's like at an Amazon XL Warehouse

Safety. Your safety is important to us, so we provide protective gear. All teams share safety tips daily.

Surroundings. You'll be operating and working around moving machines - order pickers, stand-up forklifts, turret trucks, and mobile carts.

Activity. In addition to sitting and standing while operating equipment, 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.
