Loading Dock Porter

The Loading Dock Porter is responsible for keeping the back-of-house operation clean, organized, and moving. This position handles the collection, transportation, and disposal of all waste, recycling, and compostable materials across the property. This position additionally provides direct operational support to the Purchasing and Receiving team with deliveries, storage organization, and material movement as needed.

This is physical, consistent work. The loading dock, receiving areas, storage rooms, and exterior grounds reflect BHC's standards only when someone owns the condition of those spaces every shift. Waste is removed before it accumulates. Recyclables are properly segregated. Deliveries are supported without being asked. The standard is not doing the job when directed. The standard is seeing what needs to happen and handling it.
