Picker Assistant

Green Top Farms was founded by a farmer-turned-public-school-teacher who was troubled by the lack of fresh, nutritious foods for many New York families. For the last ten years we have built a high volume food service, catering and delivery business. Throughout that time we have remained deeply involved in working to provide better food resources and education for school children, food pantries, and the broader community. We have also pursued our vision for a more sustainable and equitable food system. We spent the majority of our energies during the COVID Pandemic serving NYC City Agencies in the provision of food for the underserved, as well as non-profit agencies throughout NYC.Our mission is to build a more sustainable and equitable food system, starting by reconnecting consumers and local farmers. We believe the results of strengthening that connection are better nutrition, more tasty food, greater social justice, and reduced environmental impacts. Our menus reflect this attention to bringing nutritious, delicious food to those who need it most.What You ll Do:Receive and review pick tickets to select items accurately onto designated pick carts.Ensure product rotation and quality during picking, adhering to all guidelines.Actively maintain clean and organized stock locations and place products back in designated areas if misplaced.Update cycle count for inventory according to picks.Perform regular checks to ensure all products are accurately labeled and stored.Adhere to a "clean as you go" approach, assisting in waste management tasks such as breaking down boxes and managing garbage, etc.Communicate any shortages or substitutions during the picking process.Comply with all company policies, rules & regulations regarding safety, personal hygiene (GMP s), operational methods and food safety guidelines.Performs proper rotation of all food and beverage products; first in/first out principle.Breaks down boxes and disposes of them properly.Operates a pallet jack, stacker when necessary.Who You Are:Must be fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID with proof of vaccination (Required)Must have a phone, tech savvy, knowledge of ERP & communication systems (Fish Bowl & Slack)Food Warehouse experience (Preferred)Strong math, verbal and communication skillsAbility to carry over 50 pounds and remain standing for long periods of timeA self-starter and problem-solver spirit with extreme attention to detailBilingual Strongly PreferredWhat We Offer:Green Top Farms provides benefits including medical insurance, sick leave, paid time off that increases with tenure, commuter benefits and potential for bonuses through our Green Shares employee bonus program.COVID-19 Consideration:We require all employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including booster when eligible.
