Warehouse Sorter

Hroven
Newark, NJ Full Time | Part Time
POSTED ON 10/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/7/2027

Job Summary

You'll spend your shift sorting incoming packages by destination and moving them to the right bins or lanes. It's hands-on work. We're a mid-sized distribution center, and volume usually climbs in the afternoon once the trucks start arriving, so you'll settle into a rhythm fast. Between loads you'll also help stage outgoing pallets and straighten any section that got messy during a rush, which takes a few minutes but saves the next crew some trouble.

Responsibilities

  • Sorting packages by label into the correct bins.
  • Scan barcodes as items come off the truck.
  • Moving full bins to the staging area with a hand truck, which sometimes means lifting up to 50 pounds.
  • Pulling damaged or mislabeled items aside for the supervisor.
  • Light cleaning between shifts.
  • Restock labels and gloves as they run low.
  • Counting totals at the end of each shift and writing any mismatches on the tally sheet so the next crew knows what's still waiting.

Qualifications

  • You notice when a label doesn't match the bin, even while the line is moving quickly.
  • When the afternoon gets busy, staying calm and asking a question beats guessing, and we'd rather you ask.
  • Showing up on time for your scheduled shift matters, since the next crew depends on what you finish.
  • We want a team player who passes along a quick heads-up when something's off.
  • Reading labels and sort sheets in English is part of the job, and you'll often get comfortable with the handheld scanner after a short walkthrough.
  • If plans change mid-shift, you can adjust and move to whichever area needs help, it's just part of how the day goes.
