What is fulfillment you may ask?

• Fulfillment is how we refer to completing or fulfilling a customer’s Amazon.com order and the acts of picking, packing, shipping and delivering their order to meet or exceed their expectations!
• Our Operation’s workflow can be broken three major lanes: first mile - where the product is housed and ready for your order; second mile - where your order is hauled to your area; and last mile - when the product is delivered to your door.
• Please note that all lanes have slight building variations, but one thing is constant, our vision and dedication to the customer.

Key job responsibilities:

• Identify and inform management of compliance issues, safety risks, and improvement opportunities through conducting daily, weekly, and monthly audits
• Facilitate incident investigation processes
• Maintain required paperwork to comply with Amazon and OSHA regulations

• Perform specific safety training as required by the Safety Manager
• May have additional oversight for fire prevention, hazardous waste management, or other safety related activities depending on the business unit and location

A day in the life:

• As a WHSS, you will maintain accurate daily, weekly, and monthly metrics to report to onsite management teams.
