North Las Vegas,NV

Summary

Dynamic and detail-oriented FC1 Receiver Associate at Amazon, skilled in inventory tracking and equipment operation, where there is constant workflow coming and nonstop work at every corner of the building. To list my responsibilities working at Area Inbound Dock: unloading incoming shipments, inspecting items for damage or discrepancies, scanning and labeling inventory, sorting and organizing products, maintaining accurate records of received goods, and updating inventory databases; operating warehouse equipment like pallet jacks and Destuff-It; and collaborating with other departments to ensure smooth inventory flow. This area I worked in is known for being physically demanding, fast-paced, and very often considered one of the most critical parts of the fulfillment center because it feeds the entire operation.

Another key role I was involved in is problem solving, with 1.3 years of experience. These responsibilities are crucial to keeping inventory accurate and operations flowing smoothly. These tasks would fall under the ICQA (Inventory Control and Quality Assurance) team. And it would consist of identifying and resolving inventory discrepancies, investigating quality issues, correcting system errors, coordinating with inbound and stow teams, using handheld scanners and software tools, and escalating complex problems. Essentially, problem solvers in receiving are like detectives—we dig into data, inspect physical inventory, and collaborate across departments to make sure everything adds up for the vendors.
