Gopuff is looking for Fresh Grocery Operations Associates (OAs) to keep fresh product moving from the dock to the truck. Reporting directly to a Site Leader, you'll receive and put away inbound fresh grocery, then pick, pack and load outbound orders onto delivery trucks. It's a role that takes drive, perseverance, positivity, and real care for keeping food fresh and safe.

Customers turn to Gopuff for their everyday essentials—day and night, rain or shine—and more and more of that is fresh: produce, meat, dairy, deli and frozen. We're assembling a team of thinkers, dreamers and risk takers who are ready to help us reshape the world of retail faster than ever before. And it doesn't hurt if you like snacks.

Unload and receive pallets of fresh, refrigerated product from vendors
Verify physical counts against the purchase order/invoice and resolve discrepancies
Inspect product on arrival for temperature, quality, damage and code dates; reject or flag product that doesn't meet standards
Move product into cold storage quickly to protect the cold chain, and put away to the correct temperature zone and location
Rotate stock using strict FIFO/FEFO practice to manage waste and spoilage
Pull expired, damaged or out-of-spec product and record it accurately

Outbound: picking, packing and loading trucks

Pick fresh grocery orders accurately and on time using handheld scanners
Pack orders by temperature zone (ambient, chilled, frozen) using the right totes, liners, insulation and ice packs or dry ice
Label, stage and build outbound loads by route and departure time
Load totes onto delivery trucks safely, keeping product at temperature until departure
Confirm load accuracy and complete outbound paperwork or system scans before trucks leave
Handle returns and unloaded product, re-shelving or disposing of it per food safety rules

Follow all health, safety and sanitation guidelines for fresh and perishable food
Log temperatures for coolers, freezers and trucks as required
Clean and sanitize work areas, totes, carts and cold storage on a set schedule
Keep the dock, cooler, freezer and pick areas clean, organized and safe

Physical requirements of the role

Work in cooler and freezer environments for extended periods throughout shifts
Stand, push, pull, squat, bend, reach and walk during shifts
Use pallet jacks, carts, dollies and other equipment to move product safely
Handle, scan and move product in a safe and well-organized manner

Qualifications:

High School Diploma or GED equivalent
Experience in grocery, warehouse, distribution or food handling (preferred, not required)
Comfortable working in cold environments, including freezers, for long stretches
The ability to work a fluid schedule and be available during peak shifts (1st, 2nd, 3rd shifts), including early-morning receiving and truck departures
