Quality Control: Inspect products for damages, defects, or missing parts before packing them. Labeling: Accurately weigh packages and apply shipping labels, tracking numbers, and addresses. Equipment Operation: Use warehouse tools and equipment such as tape guns, shrink-wrap machines, dollies, and pallet jacks. Maintenance: Keep the packing station, warehouse floor, and inventory areas clean, safe, and organized. Key Requirements Education: High school diploma or GED is usually required. Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for long periods, bend, twist, and frequently lift heavy objects (typically up to 50 lbs.). Attention to Detail: Accuracy in reading order codes and ensuring the right product goes to the right customer. Time Management: Capability to meet daily packaging targets and work efficiently in a fast-paced environment. Tech Skills: Basic familiarity with computers, barcode scanners, and inventory software.
