About the position
The Warehouse Person (Loader) position at PBNA is a labor-intensive role that involves hand building 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.

The position may require working in various weather conditions and the hours can vary daily based on workload. The loading process includes transporting full pallets of products from the warehouse to trailers and unloading returned pallets and plastic flats.
