If you're ready to work hard and be part of an excellent team doing something important, join us! We work with local farmers to transport, pack, and deliver their produce. This includes packing, inventory maintenance, driving and other warehouse duties. Most of our team are cross-trained, keeping us nimble and the work interesting. The owners work right alongside employees and our work directly contributes to making our local food system more equitable and conscious of climate change. We serve the local food industry as well as individuals, our wholesale brand is "Farmstand Local Foods" and our home delivery brand is "Pacific Coast Harvest."
Summary -
This job splits its time between driving and the warehouse.
Drivers use company vans and trucks to pick up, sort, and deliver fruits, veggies, and other local food items. Routes start and end at our South Seattle warehouse and go throughout the Greater Seattle-Bellevue-Tacoma area. Deliveries to customers are done throughout the week to both wholesale locations and direct-to-consumer homes. Routes last between 4 to 8 hours.
Warehouse aggregators portion items from big cases to retail sizing, sort wholesale orders, and help keep the warehouse clean. Packing grocery orders can mean working in a walk-in fridge for several hours and boxes can weigh 50 lbs+. Attention to details and following systems are keys to success in this role.
