Position Summary:
This role is a critical part of our warehouse operations, ensuring freight moves in and out accurately, safely, and on time. The ideal candidate is physically capable, detail-oriented, and takes pride in keeping shipments organized and damage-free from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave. Beyond loading and unloading, this person is a reliable team player who can adapt to shifting priorities and pitch in wherever the operation needs them. If you're someone who likes to stay active, work with a solid crew, and see the direct results of your effort every day, this is a great opportunity to grow with our team.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Loaders typically work in warehouses, where they prepare outgoing shipments and receive incoming goods by loading and unloading trucks, trailers and shipping containers.
When a vehicle arrives or departs the warehouse with freight, a loader checks route schedules and orders for accuracy. Loaders also collaborate with their colleagues to streamline warehouse operations and may assist in other roles as needed. For example, they may perform general maintenance or cleaning tasks in their workplace.
Loaders oversee the loading and offloading of all freight arriving at and leaving warehouses.
After unloading products, they take them into storage areas and refer to the delivery paperwork to ensure they receive the entire order.
Loaders also review outgoing orders to ensure they contain the correct freight and secure shipments to avoid items shifting during transport.
Before and after loading, loaders inspect the products to confirm their quality.
Freight can become damaged during manufacture or transport, so it's important to ensure the items are in good condition when they're received and shipped.
Qualifications - Required
Communication:
Loaders use written and verbal communication skills to receive and deliver important information to their colleagues, managers and drivers.
Physical labor:
Loaders must carry and move heavy objects daily. In job descriptions, employers often include minimum weights that candidates must have the ability to lift when handling shipments.
Basic mathematics:
Formulas and measurements help loaders determine whether they have the space available to ship or store a product. Loaders may also use basic geometry concepts to maximize the amount of freight they can load into a truck or shipping container.
Teamwork:
Loaders work closely with their coworkers to achieve company goals. Warehouse teams often help one another complete their duties in addition to their own.
Computer literacy:
Many companies keep computerized recording systems, which loaders use to input shipment or inventory data. Loaders also need technical skills to work with motorized equipment in their workplaces.
Organization:
Loaders help maintain orderly warehouses to ensure safety and increase productivity. Some of their primary job duties include regular sanitation, inventory organization and floor maintenance activities.
Flexibility:
Shifts for loaders can vary, and they may need to perform warehouse duties outside the typical scope of their position. These jobs may require weekend, evening and holiday shifts, while some companies offer or mandate overtime.
