**Job Title: Order Picker**
**Job Description**
Employees are responsible for filling the orders that come into the warehouse system. You will go to the printer that has the orders and take them one at a time. You will follow the order sheet and fill the orders accordingly while verifying quantities and part numbers match up with what is on the order sheet. You will be given a cart with wheels that you will push around to carry the orders until it is full. Once the order is filled, you will take it to the front of the warehouse and give it to the packers at the tables. The packers will verify your work and double-check to make sure everything is correct while you get the next order and keep picking. In this position, you will need to lift around 50 lbs at most, but most parts will be 30 lbs or less. The total weight on your cart may be up to 100 lbs, but you will be pushing that weight with wheels. Be comfortable going up stairs, and have the ability to walk around the warehouse for 8 hours a day.

**Why Work Here?**
This is a great opportunity for candidates to gain experience in warehousing. If candidates are doing well and get converted permanent, they will be given the opportunity to be trained on forklifts and material handling equipment. The company offers a 401K with a match, full health vision and dental coverage. They have extra PTO bonuses for perfect attendance. Employees get a raise when they are converted permanent and then a raise a year after they started (based on manager review). We have a few success stories to share with candidates - most importantly, one of the team leads started as a contract employee and is one of the people who trains new hires on their first days.
**Work Environment**
The warehouse is very clean and heated for the winter. There is no A/C, but it never really gets too hot in there. It is quiet and a very safe place to work. The team is laid back, and the main requirements are around attendance and pick accuracy. If you do well in both of these, you will be given a lot of trust to work on your own. The radio plays over the speakers for employees to listen to while they work. There is a Manager, an Assistant Manager, and about 10 employees with whom you will work. Steel toe shoes are required, but you can wear shorts in the summer, hoodies in the winter, and overall be in comfortable clothing all day.
**Job Type & Location**
This is a Contract to Hire position based out of Addison, Illinois.
