• Follow all safety guidelines, including the use of required protective footwear and adherence to proper lifting techniques.
• Maintain a presentable and appropriate appearance that aligns with the professional working environment.
• Perform repetitive tasks efficiently while sustaining focus and accuracy throughout the shift.

• Strong data entry skills with experience handling clerical and data-related tasks.
• Ability to perform repetitive work while maintaining concentration and high-quality output.
• Capability to lift and carry cartons weighing up to 50 pounds, including frequent lifting and carrying of 30–50 pound boxes every 5–7 minutes.
• Comfort working in a structured environment where performance is measured by keystroke volume and accuracy.
• Ability to work a consistent Monday–Friday schedule from 7:00 . to 3:30 ., including a 30-minute lunch and two 15-minute breaks.
• Reliability and punctuality to support a full-time, five-day workweek.
• Willingness to wear protective footwear that meets ASTM F2413-11 safety toe standards with a slip-resistant rating of “Better or Best.”

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Previous experience in data entry or clerical roles.
• Experience working in a warehouse, records storage, or similar environment involving file handling and box movement.
• Familiarity with handling medical files or other sensitive documents in a careful and organized manner.
• Comfort working with performance metrics such as keystroke counts and accuracy rates.
• Ability to adapt to workload variations, including periods where lifting requirements may change depending on the shipment volume.
• Readiness to start as a casual employee with full-time hours and transition to permanent status based on performance and business needs.

Why Work Here?

You will join an organization that safeguards critical information and valued assets, giving your work a clear sense of purpose and impact. The role offers consistent daytime hours Monday through Friday, supporting a stable work-life rhythm. You can begin as a casual employee with full-time hours, with the opportunity to be converted to permanent status and gain access to benefits such as dental, pharmaceutical, and vision coverage. The environment values accuracy, reliability, and safety, providing a structured setting where strong performance and attention to detail are recognized.

Work Environment

This position is based in a records storage facility that combines office-style data entry workstations with palletized box storage areas. You will work a regular schedule of five days per week, nine hours per day, including a 30-minute lunch and two 15-minute breaks, with core hours from 7:00 . to 3:30 . Most work (approximately 95% of the time) is performed while seated at a computer, entering data into a database system, with the remaining time spent walking short distances and lifting cartons between pallets and workstations. The facility uses pallets stacked up to five boxes high, and you will frequently move cartons weighing 30–50 pounds over distances of up to 15–20 feet. Protective footwear is mandatory and must meet ASTM F2413-11 safety toe standards with a slip-resistant rating of “Better or Best.” Attire must be presentable and appropriate for a professional warehouse-office hybrid environment, balancing safety with a neat, professional appearance.
