Warehouse Associate

RESTAURANT CITY•Waterbury, CT

20h•$20 - $25•Onsite

About The Position

Restaurant City is a restaurant equipment and supply distributor partnering with hospitality and foodservice operators across the Northeast. We're hiring a Warehouse Associate to help keep product moving — picking orders, uncrating and assembling product for delivery or display in our showroom, stocking shelves, loading and unloading trailers, and running the forklift. This is hands-on work in a fast-paced environment. No two days look the same, and we're looking for someone who takes ownership of what's in front of them rather than waiting to be told.

Requirements

18 years of age or older (required for forklift operation)
Able to read and interpret labels, product descriptions, and order paperwork
Reliable, safety-minded, and comfortable working independently once you know the routine

Nice To Haves

Seated (sit-down counterbalance) forklift experience strongly preferred — all operators are certified on our equipment before running it
Warehouse, distribution, or equipment-handling experience preferred
Familiarity with restaurant equipment is a plus
Prior experience with a wholesale equipment distributor is a plus

Responsibilities

Stow and organize product and unload/load trailers
Uncrate and assemble equipment; stage for delivery and display it in our showroom
Pick and pack orders for customer pickup and delivery
Stock shelves and maintain organized, accessible inventory
Operate a seated forklift to move and position pallets throughout the warehouse
Break down crates and packaging, manage trash and recycling, and keep the warehouse, dock, and showroom areas clean and safe
Take on ad hoc projects as they come up — deliveries, resets, inventory counts, site cleanups, and other assignments as needed
Follow all company safety rules and flag anything that creates an unsafe condition
