Our workspaces bring together flexible warehouse suites, offices, and hands-on logistics support, all designed to help eCommerce entrepreneurs scale with confidence. Our members run businesses across Fashion & Apparel, Health & Beauty, Electronics, Household Goods, and more. When you join Saltbox, you're not just joining a company, you're helping real small business owners in your own backyard succeed.\nWe're scaling something new at Saltbox, and the earliest shift is where it starts. This location runs a dock sorting operation that unloads, presorts, scans, and dispatches thousands of packages before most people are awake, and we need reliable people to run it.\nAs a Dock Sortation Specialist, you're the execution engine of the early dock. You unload inbound freight, presort packages by batch and market, scan every item into a handheld device, and stage sorted loads so drivers roll out on time. Your job is to keep the early dock moving: unloading, presorting, and staging packages before sunrise so every load is scanned, sorted, and dispatched on time.\nThis shift clears the biggest bottleneck in the operation, inbound unload and presort. Getting it right is how this site grows from processing 5 to 6 thousand packages a day to 8 thousand without missing a dispatch window. You'll be on the ground floor of a function we're building out, and the crew that runs it well sets the standard every other location follows.\nWhat the job looks like\nYour shift starts at 3:00am. You'll unload inbound freight, presort it by batch and market, and scan each package into the Sort App on a handheld device. From 3:00am to 8:00am the focus is getting everything sorted and staged; from 8:00am the focus shifts to dispatch as drivers pick up their loads. It's physical, fast, detail-driven work with a small, tight crew, and when the packages are out the door your shift is done, usually a 5 to 6 hour day.\n\nWhat you will own\nInbound unload & presort\nUnload inbound freight at the start of your shift and stage it for sorting, keeping the dock clear and organized as volume comes in.\nPresort packages by batch and market so the sort line moves without backups.\nFlag damaged, mislabeled, or missing packages to the Lead the moment you spot them.\nPackage scanning & sortation\nScan every package using the Sort App on a handheld device, two scans each: presort and bin assignment.\nHold a target of 225 units per hour (UPH), scanning each package twice for presort and bin assignment.\nSort packages into the correct shelving unit or bin by batch and market assignment. Missorts delay drivers and risk SLA breaches, so accuracy comes first.\nStaging & dispatch\nMove sorted batches to the driver handoff zone before the dispatch window opens.\nAssist with dispatch scanning from 8:00am as drivers pick up their loads.\nHelp ensure all routes are dispatched by 11:00am, with 99.5% of packages out the door.\nWorkspace stewardship\nKeep the sortation and dock area clean, organized, and safe for the full shift.\nReturn handheld devices and equipment to their proper positions at shift end.\nHelp count on-hand packages at shift end and flag any discrepancies to the Lead right away.\nHow we measure success\n225 units per hour (UPH) sustained through your shift, keeping pace without cutting corners on accuracy.\nInbound freight unloaded and fully sorted by 8:00am, presorting is only half the job.\nAll routes dispatched by 11:00am, with 99.5% of packages out the door.\nAccuracy on bin and market assignment, missorts caught before they ever reach a driver.\nOn-hand package counts reconciled and discrepancies flagged the same shift.\nConsistent attendance and on-time 3:00am starts, the shift depends on a full crew.\nWho thrives here\nYou're energized by early mornings and a fast dock, not worn down by them.\nYou take real pride in physical work done well and hold yourself to a high standard without being watched.\nYou move with purpose and stay accurate under volume: right package, right bin, right scan, every time.\nYou show up, every shift. Your crew is counting on you being there at 3:00am.\nYou bring a steady attitude and pitch in wherever the operation needs you.\nYou take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks, that's the ownership mentality we hire for.\nWhat you bring\nComfortable using AI tools, Claude, ChatGPT, voice assistants, on the floor to answer questions, translate, and draft communications. If you're new to this, willing to learn quickly.\nAble to reliably start shifts at 3:00am on the schedule set by your location.\nAbility to stand for 5+ hours and lift or move packages up to 50 lbs, reasonable accommodation provided.\nComfortable using handheld scanning devices and mobile apps, and quick to learn new tools.\nReliable transportation to your Saltbox location for an early morning start.\nDependable and detail-oriented, with a track record of showing up and doing the work with care.\nPrior warehouse, logistics, fulfillment, or retail experience is a plus, but if you've got hustle, we'll train you on the rest.\nWhat we offer\nPaid time off that accrues with the hours you work\nRoom to grow: this part-time role can flex to full-time as the operation scales. Full-time team members unlock our full benefits package, including Aetna medical with two plans covered 100% or a low PPO premium, dental and vision at 100%, 401K plan options, company-paid long-term and short-term disability and life insurance, and paid holidays, vacation, sick time, and parental leave\nHow we work with AI\nAI is part of how we work at Saltbox.
