WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

Warehouse and Factory Workers help ensure that products are received, manufactured, packed, stored and prepared for distribution efficiently.

Your exact responsibilities will depend on whether you are assigned to a warehouse, distribution centre, factory, manufacturing plant or production facility.

The work is generally practical and physically active. Employees may perform several different duties during their working week.

Warehouse Order Picking

Your duties can include:

  • Locating products
  • Picking items from shelves or storage areas
  • Checking product codes
  • Checking quantities
  • Placing products into containers
  • Moving completed orders to packing areas
  • Reporting missing or damaged products

Some workplaces may use handheld barcode scanners or other basic warehouse equipment.

Training will be provided where necessary.

Packing & Preparing Orders

Packing is one of the most common warehouse duties.

Workers may be responsible for preparing products before they are dispatched to customers, shops, businesses or other distribution centres.

Typical duties include placing products into boxes, checking quantities, sealing packages, attaching labels and preparing completed orders for transportation.

Workers may also add protective packaging to prevent products from being damaged during transportation.

Accuracy is important because the correct products and quantities must be included in each order.

Warehouse and factory workers may be required to sort large quantities of products.

Items may need to be separated according to product type, size, destination, order number or production batch.

Employees may also attach labels, barcodes or other identification to products and packages.

This type of work can be repetitive, so workers should be comfortable carrying out the same task for extended periods while maintaining accuracy.

These positions normally involve following a clearly defined process.

Supervisors will demonstrate how each task should be completed before workers are expected to perform the job independently.

QUALITY CHECKING

Workers may also help inspect finished products before they are packed or dispatched.

You may need to check that products are correctly assembled, packaged and labelled.

Products with visible defects or damage may need to be separated and reported to a supervisor.

  • Attach labels
  • Check quantities
  • Stack completed boxes
  • Prepare pallets
  • Wrap pallets
  • Move finished products to dispatch areas

Employees will be expected to follow workplace procedures carefully.

This may include moving boxes, containers or pallets between receiving, storage, packing and dispatch areas.

Employees may use basic warehouse equipment after receiving appropriate instruction.
