About the position
The Warehouse Person (Loader) position at PepsiCo Beverages North America is a labor-intensive role that involves the hand building of pallets of products for bulk and route trucks. This position requires strict attention to order accuracy, ensuring that outgoing trucks are loaded correctly and incoming trucks are unloaded efficiently. Employees will work from an electronic order system or order sheets to build loads, utilizing a forklift and/or electronic pallet jack.

Route truck loading involves customizing product/packages for each truck based on the salesperson's order, and unloading returned products and pallets/plastic flats.
