Job description

You care about making a positive impact in the world. You understand greatness requires thinking differently. An inclusive and accepting work environment is important to you.

A job at IKEA is so much more than home furnishings. Together, we work to make a better everyday life for the many. It's the perfect fit if you want to contribute, grow, and share. Join the team and start a better life for yourself.

A warehouse job at IKEA is so much more than moving things from A to B. It’s the stuff in between that makes being a member of our logistics team unique.

What you'll be doing day to day:

1. Contributing to the fulfillment of customer orders in different sales channels in the retail store by ensuring an efficiently executed product availability and replenishment process.
2. Receiving inbound goods and ensuring inventory accuracy at the point of receiving.
3. Moving product to final selling location (in storage or on the floor in all areas).
4. Performing sales space replenishment with flexibility and according to visual merchandising guidance.
5. Selecting goods for customers, within the agreed time frame, to secure an excellent customer experience.
6. Certifying all powered mobile equipment including forklifts and pallet jacks.
7. Handling goods (unloading, transporting, replenishing, stocking in, stocking out, picking, loading).
8. Operating scanner equipment and inventory management tools including IT systems.
9. Contributing to an environment where the IKEA culture is a strong and living reality that embraces the diversity of co-workers and customers.
