About The Position

The Warehouse Receiver is responsible for timely and accurate receipt of products and placement in designated warehouse areas. The receiver unloads deliveries, breaks down and inspects their contents, and verifies that items and quantities match purchase orders. At the Danbury store’s central warehouse only, the role also fulfills transfer orders for delivery to other food stores and checks items and quantities against the manifest.

The employer says applicants may be able to start as soon as one week.
