Work History

Receiving and Scanning Packages, Stowing Inventor

Amazon
Cromwell, CT
08.2024 - Current

In my role as a Warehouse Associate at Amazon BDL6, I have gained comprehensive experience in various aspects of warehouse operations. I work in a fast-paced environment that requires me to be both efficient and precise, ensuring that all tasks are completed on time while meeting safety and quality standards.

One of my primary responsibilities is receiving packages. I inspect incoming shipments for any damages, verify the items against the order lists, and scan them into the warehouse management system. I ensure that all packages are correctly documented before being moved to their respective locations for stowing.

Once packages are processed, I take charge of stowing inventory. I’ve become proficient at using both the side rider and reach truck to place products in high-shelving units or more remote locations within the warehouse. I operate the side rider to access pallets on low and medium racks, and I use the reach truck to place items in higher storage positions, ensuring everything is stored securely and organized in a way that maximizes available space. This requires a strong attention to detail and careful operation of the equipment to avoid accidents and damage to inventory.

For picking customer orders, I am responsible for retrieving products from the shelves and preparing them for shipment. I use the side rider and reach truck to navigate the warehouse, selecting items for orders based on barcodes and order specifications. Using the side rider, I pick up pallets of items and transport them to the packing area. On higher racks, I rely on the reach truck to carefully pick individual products or pallets and bring them to ground level where they can be processed. Throughout this process, I ensure that the products I pick match the order requirements and that they are handled safely to prevent damage.

In addition to picking and stowing, I also handle the loading and unloading of trailers. I work with my team to ensure that inbound shipments are unloaded promptly and organized properly in the warehouse. Similarly, I help load outbound trailers, ensuring that all packages are securely packed and that the right items are loaded for shipment. This often involves using the side rider or reach truck to move bulkier items or pallets efficiently.

I also spend a significant amount of time auditing packages. I ensure that each item matches the correct order by cross-referencing the items with shipping lists and scanning barcodes. This step is critical in maintaining Amazon’s commitment to high standards of accuracy and customer satisfaction.

Through this experience, I’ve become highly skilled in operating warehouse machinery like the side rider, reach truck, and other powered industrial trucks. I’ve received training in safe operation and have developed an in-depth understanding of warehouse layout, space optimization, and equipment handling. Operating these machines has allowed me to work more efficiently, especially in high-density storage areas where reaching and picking from great heights or narrow aisles is essential.

I am constantly striving to meet or exceed my performance goals, whether it’s in picking rates, order accuracy, or maintaining a high level of productivity. My attention to detail, time management skills, and ability to work under pressure have been essential in ensuring that I contribute positively to my team’s success. I understand the importance of safety, and I consistently follow all safety protocols when operating equipment or handling heavy loads.

Overall, my role at Amazon BDL6 has taught me to be adaptable and efficient in a dynamic warehouse environment, and I take pride in being a reliable, safety-conscious, and hardworking member of the team.

Affiliations

I am dedicated to maintaining a balanced and active lifestyle, which I achieve through regular visits to the gym. My fitness routine not only helps me stay physically healthy but also instills discipline and perseverance, qualities that I carry into my professional life. In addition to my gym workouts, I actively participate in sports such as football and soccer, where I refine my teamwork, leadership, and strategic thinking skills. These sports require communication, collaboration, and quick decision-making, all of which translate well into a team-oriented work environment. Running is another personal passion of mine, providing me with an opportunity to build endurance and improve focus, while also offering a mental break from my daily routine. Outside of physical activities, I am passionate about writing, whether for personal projects or professional development. Writing enables me to express my creativity, enhance my communication skills, and think critically. Additionally, I enjoy gaming in my free time, which sharpens my problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and ability to adapt to new challenges in a fast-paced environment. These activities not only keep me engaged and balanced but also contribute to my overall personal and professional growth."
