What You Can Expect

At Zimmer Biomet, we specialize in Knee, Hip, Shoulder, and Trauma instrumentation and implants needed for surgeries at our local hospitals and surgery centers. 

The Mobile Logistics Medical Device Driver is primarily responsible for deliveries and pick-ups, transporting medical device products from a local sales warehouse to assigned hospitals. Routes are subject to change daily.  A full-size, company-owned van is provided to conduct pickups and deliveries. Driver must maintain cleanliness and proper maintenance on vans while driving. When not driving, team member performs office assistance, working cross-functionally with warehouse personnel as needed. 

How You'll Create Impact

• Pack, unload and deliver medical instrumentation and implants to Company accounts (hospitals) for upcoming surgeries, dropping off ordered instrumentation to hospitals’ sterile area and instruments to hospitals’ holding area.  Drop off and pick up protocol varies by facility; directions and training will be provided.  
• Retrieve items from accounts post-use, check for pickup completeness before exiting the facility and communicating with operations/sales rep associates to discuss any missing items. Pictures are provided of instrumentation to check against; might require locating product in multiple areas at a facility.  
• Move instrument trays and implants across different facilities daily. Double check instrument/implant count and the labeling on product to ensure the correct product is being taken to the correct location (office to hospital, hospital to hospital, or hospital to office.) Routing sheets and documents will be provided to reference.
• Communicate ETA to Warehouse Dispatcher to/from each stop on assigned route. Work at an efficient pace to complete all assigned stops within assigned shift while being accurate, double-checking pertinent details at each stop.  
• Practice safe and lawful driving while operating full-size van for pickups and deliveries. Maintain cleanliness (exterior and interior) and maintenance alerts of company-owned vehicle.
• Communicate any issues that arise to dispatch and management. Incorrect/incomplete drops disrupt upcoming surgery schedule.  
• Assist Inventory and warehouse personnel as needed, including scanning products into computer system while stocking and pulling items from warehouse shelves with 100% accuracy.
