$18–$20/hour | Flexible Schedule | Growth Opportunity
About the Role
We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Fragile Packing Specialist to handle, protect, and prepare artwork, collectibles, and high-value shipments with precision and care.
This is not a standard packing role—this position requires craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pride in execution. You’ll be responsible for ensuring every item leaves our store secure, professionally packed, and damage-free.
In addition to packing, you will assist with pickups, transportation handling, and shipping documentation, making you a key part of our customer experience and operations team.
What You’ll Do
- Expertly pack fragile and high-value items using advanced protective techniques
- Build custom packaging solutions (foam, double-boxing, specialty materials)
- Handle artwork, antiques, and delicate items with extreme care
- Assist with local pickups, loading, and unloading shipments
- Secure packages properly for safe transportation
- Accurately process shipping invoices and customer transactions
- Maintain organized, clean, and safe workspace standards
- Work closely with team members to ensure efficient workflow and quality control
What We’re Looking For
- Experience packing fragile, high-value, or specialty items
- Strong understanding of protective materials and packing methods
- High level of attention to detail and accountability
- Ability to lift up to 40 lbs safely
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced retail environment
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Weekend availability required
Preferred Experience (Nice to Have)
- Art handling (galleries, museums, auction houses)
- Shipping/logistics or fulfillment experience
- POS systems or shipping software familiarity
- Experience with pickups or delivery handling
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work with unique, high-value items (not repetitive warehouse packing)
- Develop a specialized skillset in professional packing
- Be part of a high-performing, detail-driven team
- Opportunity for growth into leadership or operations roles
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive hourly pay
- Flexible scheduling
- Paid training
- Sick time
- 401(k) with company match
- Dental & Vision insurance
- Employee discounts
- Uniforms provided
- Free parking
Work Environment
- Retail store setting (not a warehouse)
- Hands-on, active role
- Team-oriented culture focused on quality and execution
