Warehouse Associate

Pepsico • Cincinnati, OH

13h • $25 - $25 • Onsite

About The Position

This labor-intensive position is responsible for hand building pallets of product for bulk and route trucks. It requires strict attention to order accuracy when loading outgoing trucks and unloading incoming trucks. The associate will work from an electronic order system or order sheets to build loads using a forklift and/or electronic pallet jack, ensuring accuracy in loading and compliance with shipper/receiver documentation. Employees must maintain a clean and safe work environment. The position may require working across a wide variety of weather conditions and hours, with shift duration depending on workload and varying daily. Transport truck loading involves moving full pallets of products from the warehouse onto a trailer and removing returned pallets/plastic flats, as well as unloading raw materials and placing them in designated warehouse space. Bulk truck loading involves selecting designated packages and flavors of products from the warehouse, loading them onto a pallet, and maintaining pallet stability through proper stacking and shrink-wrapping, often for local delivery. Route truck loading involves selecting customized products/packages or pallets based on salesperson orders and loading them into the truck. For both bulk and route loading, the position is responsible for unloading returned products and pallets/plastic flats. This role requires lifting a very high volume of cases of product (20-45 pounds per case) repeatedly during long work periods, and constant standing, walking, bending, twisting, squatting, reaching, and grasping as product is moved.
