About the role
This role starts at 3:00 AM. The dock sortation specialist is responsible for unloading, presorting, scanning, and dispatching packages before most people are awake.
Responsibilities
- Unload inbound freight at the start of your shift and stage it for sorting, keeping the dock clear and organized as volume comes in.
- Presort packages by batch and market so the sort line moves without backups.
- Flag damaged, mislabeled, or missing packages to the Lead the moment you spot them.
- Scan every package using the Sort App on a handheld device, two scans each: presort and bin assignment.
- Move sorted batches to the driver handoff zone before the dispatch window opens.
- Assist with dispatch scanning from 8:00 AM as drivers pick up their loads.
- Help ensure all routes are dispatched by 11:00 AM, with 99.5% of packages out the door.
- Keep on-hand package counts reconciled and discrepancies flagged the same shift.
Requirements
- Energetic about early mornings and fast docks, not worn down by them.
- Takes pride in physical work done well and holds yourself to a high standard without being watched.
- Moves with purpose and stays accurate under volume: right package, right bin, right scan, every time.
- Shows up, every shift. Crew is counting on you being there at 3:00 AM.
- Bright attitude and pitch in wherever the operation needs you.
- Takes ownership of outcomes, not just tasks, that's the ownership mentality we hire for.
Qualifications
- Comfortable using AI tools, Claude, ChatGPT, voice assistants, on the floor to answer questions, translate, and draft communications.
- If you're new to this, willing to learn quickly.
- Able to reliably start shifts at 3:00 AM on the schedule set by your location.
- Ability to stand for 5+ hours and lift or move packages up to 50 lbs, reasonable accommodation provided.
- Comfortable using handheld scanning devices and mobile apps, and quick to learn new tools.
- Reliable transportation to your Saltbox location for an early morning start.
- Dependable and detail-oriented, with a track record of showing up and doing the work with care.
- Prior warehouse, logistics, fulfillment, or retail experience is a plus, but if you've got hustle, we'll train you on the rest.
