Job description

At Zimmer Biomet, we believe in pushing the boundaries of innovation and driving our mission forward. As a global medical technology leader for nearly 100 years, a patient's mobility is enhanced by a Zimmer Biomet product or technology every 8 seconds.

What You Can Expect

At Zimmer Biomet, we specialize in Knee, Hip, Shoulder, and Trauma instrumentation and implants needed for surgeries at our local hospitals and surgery centers.

How You'll Create Impact

• Pack, unload and deliver medical instrumentation and implants to Company accounts (hospitals) for upcoming surgeries, dropping off ordered instrumentation to hospitals' sterile area and instruments to hospitals' holding area. Drop off and pick up protocol varies by facility; directions and training will be provided.
• Retrieve items from accounts post-use, checking for instrument completeness before exiting the facility and communicating with hospital staff to locate missing items. Pictures are provided of instrumentation to check against; might require locating product in multiple areas at a facility.
• Move instrument trays and implants across facilities on a daily basis. Double check instrument/implant count and the labeling on product to ensure the correct product is being taken to the correct location (office to hospital, hospital to hospital, or hospital to office.)
• Communicate ETA to Warehouse Dispatcher to/from each stop on assigned route. Work at a face pace to complete all assigned stops within assigned shift while being accurate, double-checking counts at each stop.
• Practice safe and lawful driving while operating full-size van for pickups and deliveries. Maintain cleanliness (exterior and interior) and maintenance alerts of company-owned vehicle.
• Communicate any issues that arise to dispatch and management. Incorrect/incomplete drops disrupt upcoming surgery schedule.
• Assist Inventory and warehouse personnel as needed, including scanning products into computer system while stocking and pulling items from warehouse shelves with 100% accuracy.
