Shipping Assistant Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Shipping Representative to accurately package, verify, process, and ship domestic, international, and hazardous material orders while ensuring compliance with established shipping procedures.

Candidates must be comfortable with this level of schedule flexibility.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-pressure, highly structured environment.
• Must be comfortable handling multiple priorities and meeting time-sensitive shipping deadlines.
• Must be able to work beyond the scheduled shift end time when necessary to ensure all shipments have left the facility.
