About The Position

The Order Selector Operator stacks finished beef and pork cases onto pallets throughout a refrigerated warehouse, with the goal of building full pallets. The work uses a lowboy forklift and a radio-frequency handheld scanner with system-generated work lists to track product as it is loaded, unloaded, and moved around the facility. The role also involves operating stand-up forklifts and reach trucks, with possible training on a cherry picker. Other duties may be assigned by management, and team members must be willing to cross-train and move to other areas as needed.

Work takes place in a damp, cold warehouse, with temperatures generally averaging 28°F and ranging from -10°F to 30°F; occasional exposure to 0°F is also noted. The shift is 12 hours, and the work may require moving around the area at a fast pace. The job involves frequent physical activity, including standing, walking, bending, squatting, stretching, climbing, reaching, pushing, pulling, and lifting. The posting states that candidates must be willing to handle cases weighing up to 70 pounds frequently and up to 90 pounds occasionally; a separate shift-duty description mentions pushing, pulling, and lifting up to 40 pounds.

The stated starting pay is $25.45 per hour. Candidates may be eligible for an attendance incentive and/or shift premium depending on placement. PPE is provided after the 90-day probationary period.
