Order Picker (Part Time)
Join as an Order Picker on a part-time basis. Enjoy competitive pay, flexible scheduling, and hands-on experience in a dynamic retail environment.
If you are seeking a reliable part-time role with a trusted retail brand, the Order Picker position could be a great fit. This job offers a competitive hourly wage ranging from $20.25 to $22, all paid on-site. It’s part-time, which means you get flexibility in your schedule, including the possibility for evening, weekend, and overnight shifts to accommodate your life and commitments.
As an Order Picker, you are at the heart of the retail operation: packing, labelling, and handling products for customer orders. A high school diploma is required and previous retail or distribution experience is a bonus, though it’s not mandatory. If you are detail-oriented and motivated, this role should appeal to you.
What You’ll Do Day-to-Day
The Order Picker is responsible for prioritizing and filling customer orders. You’ll use a provided pick list to gather items throughout the store, ensuring everything is packed safely and accurately labelled before orders are sent out. Customer service is a big part of the job, as you might process sales or returns at the Point of Sale (POS) or answer customer questions by phone. The position also includes moving, lifting, reaching, and sometimes working with ladders or handling heavy items. Compliance with safety regulations is regularly emphasized, and you’ll also help load delivery vehicles or help with curbside pickups.
Highlights and Opportunities
One of the role’s best advantages is flexibility: shifts can be tailored to your needs and the retail schedule often allows for work-life balance. Training opportunities abound, so you can quickly become comfortable with store systems and gain new skills. You also get practical retail experience in a reputable environment, ideal for those hoping to strengthen their resumes or grow in the retail sector.
Working as an Order Picker offers hands-on familiarity with retail tech and strong safety standards, and your work directly supports the shopping experience for both in-person and online customers. The role rewards attention to detail and organization, giving you a chance to polish workplace and communication skills in real time.
Where It Might Fall Short
On the flip side, this role involves a lot of physical activity—standing, walking, bending, lifting, and sometimes climbing ladders. If you are looking for a desk job or minimal movement, this may not be for you. Additionally, the warehouse environment can get noisy or dusty, and being comfortable in such conditions is important.
The fast pace and need to manage several tasks at once could be challenging if you prefer steady or repetitive work. Also, shifts may run late or on weekends, so having flexible personal commitments is a must.
Our Verdict
The Order Picker role offers a solid entry point or next step in a retail career, especially for those who don’t mind physical work and value flexible part-time hours. The competitive pay, reputable employer, and opportunity for skill development make it worth considering if you match the requirements and enjoy working with people and products alike.
