This is a physical role and you will need to be able to lift heavy totes into the frames....no need for a gym membership!
Pick - You'll be picking and packing customer orders into shopping totes. This is a process that requires you to handle goods with care, but you will have some help from our robots!
Inbound - You'll be receiving goods from suppliers and putting these into totes so that our robots and pickers can do their jobs.
Freezer - You'll be picking and packing frozen items for customer orders into totes within a very large freezer! Full gear is provided as you will be working in temperatures of up to -25℃ so if you like the cold, this is the job for you!
