Shipper/Receiver
Join a supportive team with flexible full or part-time shifts, competitive pay starting at $18/hr, and hands-on training. Ideal if you enjoy physical work.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
As a shipper/receiver, you’ll support daily warehouse operations in a hands-on role. You’ll load and unload trucks, organize inventory, and ensure accurate picking and packing.
Your work keeps the warehouse working smoothly. You’ll frequently use a forklift or stock picker, moving stock safely and efficiently to designated locations.
Strong attention to detail is a must. Ensuring accuracy is part of every task, from checking shipments to recording inventory in the system.
You’ll also help maintain a safe work environment by following OH&S standards and supporting positive morale in the team.
This job requires working on your feet and regularly handling items weighing fifty pounds or more, making physical fitness a valuable asset.
Advantages of This Position
One of the main draws is the flexibility to work full-time or part-time, with consistent day shifts. This structure helps balance work with life commitments.
The pay starts at an attractive $18 per hour, and you can expect between 16 to 40 hours per week based on your schedule.
Comprehensive on-the-job training means you don’t need warehouse or forklift experience to start. The employer values a positive attitude and willingness to learn above all else.
The team-oriented culture offers strong support, making it easier to adjust and develop new skills quickly on the job.
Opportunities to earn overtime pay also increase your overall earning potential if you are open to extra hours.
Potential Drawbacks to Consider
The position demands physical stamina. Lifting up to 50 lbs for long periods can be tiring and requires good fitness levels from the start.
Tasks can be repetitive, so if you prefer variety or an office setting, this type of job may not align with your preferences.
The need for close attention to detail is critical, so mistakes can affect workflow and customer satisfaction, adding pressure.
Some equipment use (like forklifts) might feel intimidating, but ongoing training is provided for those with the right attitude.
Warehouses can sometimes have variable temperatures depending on the season, which may be uncomfortable for some applicants.
Our Verdict
This shipper/receiver role is perfect if you want steady income, flexible schedules, and supportive on-the-job training in a team setting. It requires reliability, attention to detail, and readiness for physical tasks, making it a rewarding choice for many job seekers.
