Build Production & Fulfillment Skills in a Fast-Paced Warehouse

Our client is hiring a Production Line Associate to join its 1st shift production and fulfillment team.

This position plays an important role in the company's book sorting and fulfillment operation. You'll work directly from a conveyor belt, evaluating book condition, scanning qualifying items into the company's software, and helping keep products moving efficiently through the warehouse.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who is dependable, detail-oriented, comfortable staying active throughout the workday, and interested in gaining experience in a production, warehouse, or fulfillment environment.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Production Line Associate, your responsibilities will include:

• Scan and sort books and other items coming off the conveyor belt
• Evaluate book condition and accurately identify items that meet quality standards
• Scan books in good condition into the company's software system
• Follow the software's routing process to ensure products are directed to the correct destination
• Maintain an individual production goal of 240 scans per hour
• Move gaylords and other materials as needed to keep production stations stocked
• Operate a pallet jack to move product and materials throughout the warehouse
• Multitask between sorting, scanning, material handling, and other production responsibilities
• Maintain a steady and physically active pace throughout the shift
• Keep work areas organized and production stations running efficiently
• Work with coworkers to maintain consistent product flow and meet daily production goals
• Follow established safety, quality, and production procedures

What We're Looking For

Successful candidates typically have:

• Strong attention to detail, especially when evaluating product condition
• Ability to accurately sort and scan products in a production environment
• Ability to multitask and adjust as production priorities change
• Self-motivation and the ability to consistently work toward production goals
• Reliable attendance and dependable work habits
• Punctuality and consistency in a shipping, receiving, or warehouse environment
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, physically active environment
• Ability to remain on your feet and active for the duration of the shift
• Willingness to learn company software, processes, and production procedures
• Positive attitude and strong work ethic

Previous experience in warehouse operations, production, fulfillment, shipping/receiving, material handling, or manufacturing can be helpful, but the most important qualities are reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to maintain a consistent production pace.

Requirements

• Steel-toe shoes required
• Ability to lift, move, and handle gaylords and other warehouse materials
• Ability to safely operate a pallet jack
• Ability to maintain sustained physical activity throughout the workday
• Forklift experience is a plus, but not required
• Ability to meet established production and scanning expectations

Real Talk

This is an active production-line position, so you'll be expected to stay on your feet, maintain a steady pace, and remain focused throughout the shift.

A major part of the job involves evaluating book condition and accurately sorting products, so attention to detail matters. You'll also be working toward an individual goal of 240 scans per hour, meaning consistency and productivity are important.

The job can involve repetitive tasks, standing for extended periods, lifting and moving product, and regularly using a pallet jack.
