Radial, a bpost group company, plans to bring an additional 800 workers to its Burlington fulfillment center to support the increased demand during the holiday season.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 1 million warehouse workers fulfilling online orders in the U.S., a 5 percent increase from 2017.
The additional seasonal hires, Radial said, will join more than 2,950 full-time employees at its 20 fulfillment centers across the country.
“With a recent study from Radial finding 34 percent of U.S. shoppers expect to receive their packages in two days or less, our team of fulfillment associates work behind the scenes to ensure every order runs seamlessly,” Sean McCartney, executive vice president, operations services for Radial, said. “We’re thrilled to be creating so many additional jobs in Burlington and are excited to welcome back the seasonal workers who return each year. If you thrive in an energized, fast-paced, and rewarding workplace, and are looking to be a part of something bigger this holiday season, we’d love for you to join our team.”
