What does a warehouse order picker do?

The job of a warehouse order picker is to pull select items from storage and ready them for shipment. As a warehouse order picker, your duties include reading the digital or printed request, pulling the items, and placing them in the correct box or load container for the order packers. You must then note on the inventory system that you have removed the items. In some positions, you may also be responsible for product assembly. The role of a warehouse order picker is a very physical one, so you must be comfortable with picking up heavy loads. Other than the physical requirements, you may also need a high school diploma or GED certificate.
