• Run wiring for power supply and related connections as directed, ensuring clean and safe routing.

• Support project teams by assisting with commissioning activities, including basic mechanical assembly and setup of robotic arms and stations.

• Carry out general labor tasks such as sweeping, cleaning warehouse areas, loading, packaging, and assisting with construction-related duties as needed.

• Follow blueprints, diagrams, and written instructions to complete installations accurately and efficiently.

• Handle moderate to heavy material handling tasks, including consistent lifting of 40–50 pounds.

• Maintain good attendance, arrive on time, and follow directions from supervisors and project leads.

Why Work Here?

This short-term assignment offers hands-on exposure to cutting-edge material handling and robotics installations within a large distribution center environment. You gain practical experience with advanced automation systems while working closely with experienced project teams. The role provides a chance to broaden your mechanical and installation skills, build your resume in a high-visibility setting, and better understand how modern distribution operations are built and commissioned.

Work Environment

The role is based in a large distribution center that is currently under construction, which means the environment can be messy, loud, and at times crowded. Work is often performed on mezzanine and sub-mezzanine levels and requires spending most of the day on a hard cement floor. You will work around active construction and installation activities, so safety awareness is essential. This is a high-visibility setting where professionalism and a presentable appearance are important.
