Experienced Mover

The Downsizers LLC • Chapel Hill, NC

6d • $22 - $25 • Onsite

About The Position

The Downsizers is hiring for an Experienced Mover to join our growing team. This role is designed for movers who already understand professional moving standards and take pride in safe handling, efficiency, and respectful client interaction. Our projects primarily support seniors and families during major life transitions, where experience and professionalism are essential.
This position is best suited for experienced movers, not entry-level candidates.
You should already be comfortable with:
Professional loading and unloading of moving trucks using safe, efficient techniques and ensuring item protection
Furniture disassembly/reassembly and protection
Safe lifting, loading, and unloading practices
Working efficiently on deadline-driven moves
Interacting respectfully with clients in sensitive situations
Adaptability, reliability, positivity, and a calm demeanor are essential.
The Mover supports the safe, efficient, and respectful transport of client belongings during moves, estate liquidations, and downsizing projects. This role exists to ensure items are prepared, loaded, transported, unloaded, and placed with care while providing a calm, professional, and service-oriented experience for clients during often stressful transitions.
Working as part of a moving team, the Mover follows project instructions, safety standards, and company procedures while representing The Downsizers’ values and commitment to exceptional client care.
This role is also responsible for clearly communicating job completion through same-day project feed updates, including photos, notes, and any required contracts or documentation, to ensure accurate records and smooth follow-through.
Most of our projects are shuttle-style moves, involving the careful transport and delivery of items to family members, consignment partners, auction destinations, or new locations within senior living communities. Moves often take place in phases and require attention to detail, organization, and clear communication rather than high-speed bulk hauling.
This is not standard residential or commercial moving. Our clients rely on us for guidance, care, and confidence during significant life transitions. If you’re an experienced mover looking for meaningful, professional work where your skills truly matter, this role offers both purpose and stability.
