Amazon Australia is offering 600 new seasonal job opportunities across its fulfilment centres and logistics sites around the country to support the festive season.
Amazon Australia is looking for people to help pick, pack and ship customer orders, with no previous experience required. These job opportunities will help meet customer demand throughout key shopping periods including Prime Big Deal Days and Black Friday.
Amazon plans to onboard around 600 seasonal workers with applications open in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Newcastle, Gold Coast, Gosford and Geelong. For those who prefer a more flexible work arrangement, there are earning opportunities delivering packages with Amazon Flex.
“The holiday season is a special time of year, and we’re proud to be able to provide opportunities for so many individuals in our communities. These seasonal roles can also be a stepping stone towards a long-term career at Amazon,” Amazon Australia human resources director for operations, Jacqui Marker said.
“Comprehensive on-the-job training will be provided, and no previous experience or formal qualifications are required. These seasonal job opportunities are ideal for those seeking short term work, such as retirees wanting to stay engaged in work, students on their study breaks or individuals looking to re-enter the workforce and earn an extra income. We welcome anyone interested in a rewarding, temporary position within a safe, inclusive environment to apply.”
Seasonal roles can be a stepping stone to applying for permanent employment when available and starting a long-term career at Amazon. In addition to the 600 seasonal workers, Amazon Australia has created more than 550 permanent roles this year across its operational network around the country.
