Your Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00am–4:00pm, with a lunch break from 12:00–12:30pm.
What You'll Be Doing:
You'll be the engine behind the hospital's daily receiving operation — sorting, processing, labeling, and delivering packages from UPS, FedEx, and Amazon to departments throughout the facility. Some days that means navigating the hospital by cart; other days it means moving whole pallets via pallet jack without breaking them down. You'll also be responsible for safely delivering various types of gases by cart to hospital labs — a task that requires care and attention to detail.
This is a physically active role. Expect a lot of walking, lifting (up to 40 lbs), and hands-on work from the moment you clock in.
Who You Are:
You work well with others and thrive in a team environment
You have a patient-first mentality — you understand the stakes in a hospital setting
You're focused, take initiative, and don't wait to be told twice
