Now Hiring: Seasonal Receiving Assistant – $20/hr!
$20.00/hr – Because lifting, organizing, and making sure shipments don’t mysteriously disappear is a real skill!
Ever wonder how a garden center stays stocked with beautiful plants and supplies? It’s not magic—it’s Receiving Assistants like you! O’Toole’s Garden Centers is looking for a Seasonal Receiving Assistant to help keep our inventory flowing smoothly during peak season. If you enjoy working behind the scenes, staying organized, and don’t mind lifting the occasional bag of soil (or ten), we’d love to have you on board!
Where? Lakewood & Westminster, Colorado
When? Seasonal Position – Spring through Summer (June 30, 2025)
Pay? A well-earned $20.00 per hour!
What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Building Those Arm Muscles)
- Unloading Like a Pro – Assist with receiving and unloading incoming shipments. Bonus points if you can do it with style.
- Keeping It Accurate – Verify shipments against invoices and report any discrepancies. (No one likes missing inventory!)
- Organizing the Chaos – Maintain a clean and well-organized receiving area because clutter = stress.
- Handling the Not-So-Perfect Stuff – Process damaged or missing inventory claims as needed.
- Tracking Inventory Like a Detective – Help keep product availability updated so the right departments stay in the loop.
- Caring for Plants Like a Green Thumb-in-Training – Ensure proper handling of incoming plant products to keep them happy and healthy.
- Scheduling Smarts – Coordinate receiving schedules with vendors to prevent bottlenecks and traffic jams.
- Supporting the Store Team – Help with restocking, moving products, and making sure everything flows smoothly.
- Following Safety First Rules – Because getting squished by a pallet of soil is not part of the job description.
What We’re Looking For (Besides Someone Who Can Lift Heavy Things and Still Smile)
Must-haves:
- High school diploma or equivalent (Yes, passing high school finally pays off!)
- At least 1 year of experience in shipping, receiving, or warehouse operations (If you know your way around a pallet, we’re interested!)
- Ability (or willingness) to learn how to operate a forklift, pallet jack, and electronic pallet jack (These are just fancy names for "big, cool equipment you get to drive")
- Strong attention to detail – because a missing shipment is a big deal.
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (Think of it as a built-in workout!)
- Ability to stay on your feet for the entire shift (We’ll keep you moving, no need for a gym membership!)
- Weekend & peak seasonal availability – this is our busiest time, so we need all hands on deck!
- Basic computer skills for inventory tracking (If you can handle online shopping, you’ve got this.)
- Ability to read, write, and communicate in English for safety instructions, inventory documentation, and coordinating with vendors & teammates.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
- $20/hr – Because we value the work you do!
- Get your steps in – Who needs a treadmill when you’ve got a warehouse to cover?
- Be part of a great team – No lone wolves here, we work together!
- It’s never boring – Every day is different, and there’s always something to do.
