General:
This position involves operating a forklift in a standing position to prepare and manage outgoing shipments. Responsibilities include accurately picking, packing, labeling, staging, and/or loading products onto delivery trucks. The role also requires ensuring all shipment documentation is completed accurately and that orders are processed, tracked, and delivered on time.
Workers will frequently mount and dismount forklifts throughout the shift and must be able to perform in a fast-paced environment that involves regular lifting of materials. Strong attention to detail is essential. Workers are expected to cross-train across multiple workstations, beginning with an initial observation period. Additional duties may be assigned as needed to support operational objectives.
Work Location: Bendix Distribution Center (BDC)
Shipping Workstation:
- Bin Picker - The worker will utilize an RF scanner to identify items to be retrieved from shelving and rack locations. Items are placed on a cart and transported to moving conveyor lines, which deliver products to the sorter area for distribution to the appropriate shipping locations. This role may require the use of a stepladder to access higher shelving. Anti-fatigue mats are provided along conveyor areas to support ergonomics. This position primarily involves continuous picking of finished goods without the use of a forklift.
- Stand-Up Picker - The worker will operate a stand-up picker and use an RF scanner to retrieve items from shelving and rack locations. Items are placed on the picker and, once full, transported to moving conveyors for delivery to the sorter area. This role involves continuous picking of finished goods using powered equipment.

Responsibilities include ensuring all required documentation is included with each order, printing and applying appropriate labels, and verifying shipment accuracy. Workers may handle approximately 50–60 boxes per hour, with weights ranging from under 5 pounds up to 52 pounds and carrying distances between 10 and 50 feet. Once orders are complete, pallet boxes are adjusted or cut to ensure proper fit for shipment.
- Small Package Packing - The worker will pack individual orders and prepare shipping labels using a computer system. Boxes are secured using a banding machine. This position may handle approximately 450–500 boxes per shift, with individual box weights exceeding 70 pounds. Workers will lift boxes from a 28-inch working height to pallets positioned at floor level. Boxes are generally 8–10 inches in height.
Tools:
Staple guns, utility knives, stand up forklifts, cherry picker forklifts, RF scanner computer/software, printers, banding machine, pallet jack, step ladder.
Protective Personal Equipment:

Environment:
