All merchandise sold in our retail outlets is first delivered to the Distribution Center (DC). Do you want to be part of the behind the scenes team whose job will be to assist/manage the receiving, processing, and delivery of these goods. We’re looking for people who want to do all or part of the tasks in our DC, Processing, Picking Replenishments, or Delivering the merchandise to the shops. We’re located in Bar Harbor, Maine and our distribution center is about 15minutes outside of town, self transportation is required. We are ready for those looking to start as early as February or maybe starting in May sounds more your style, our season runs through October with August being the busiest month. I’d love to speak with you more about this position and share who are company is.
There are four major aspects of our work: Receiving and Processing & Replenishment and Delivery
INBOUND:
Receiving Merchandise.
We receive merchandise from three types of carriers. The procedures below apply to all. UPS & Fedex Ground: The bulk of our merchandise, 20-100 packages per day. BSP, Con-Way, Ross Express and others: Large orders on pallets.
Processing Merchandise.
All merchandise will be unpacked, counted, tagged with a price, and either set aside to be delivered to the shops or kept on shelves at the warehouse until the shop needs replenishment.
OUTBOUND:
Replenishment.
Using our Point-of-Sale software a report is generated for each of the 8 shops on a daily basis. The report is in order of the merchandise in the distribution center, which is then picked, put into grey totes and organized by shop. Toward the end of the day the delivery vehicle is loaded with each shops replenishment delivery to be ready for the morning.
Deliveries.
Deliveries generally take place at 6:00 AM to ensure easy parking in downtown Bar Harbor. Using a large van, Ram Pro-master 3500, allows all shops merchandise to make it into town in one trip. There is a learning curve to driving a larger vehicle, as we understand this can be new for some people. Once in town there is a route to follow for parking and delivering merchandise into each shop. This is of the more physically demanding aspects of the position.
