Employee: Order Picking (Hourly Wage 40 - 60%)

Welcome to the Book Centre. The Book Centre aims to further expand its market position as the most important intermediary bookseller in Switzerland, established for over 100 years, and to successfully support its customers and partners. For us, it’s not just about books, but also about people. Around 300 employees work together with joy and passion to realise our goals and visions.

Are you looking for a varied job where you are physically active? 

As an employee in order picking, you support our evening team in order picking using a handheld scanner and other diverse tasks. This ensures that our orders are processed reliably and efficiently. 

The position is paid hourly with a workload of approximately 40-60%. The shifts are scheduled from Monday to Friday between 14:00 and 23:00, with the finishing time depending on the daily order volume.

Your exciting tasks

Daily completion of all orders in the order picking area

Transfers, storage

Picking books and other items based on orders using a handheld scanner

Picking special orders

Stocking returns

Creating small parcels for domestic shipping (assisting at the packing table in the shipping area if needed)

Work starts from 14:00/15:00 or even 17:00. Finishing time is variable and ends between 20:00 and 23:00. The exact finishing time is not predictable and depends on the daily order volume. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a regular, consistent workload per month 

What you bring

Experience in logistics, ideally in order picking

Physically fit and resilient – safety shoes are no problem for you

Flexibility in working hours (between 14:00 and 23:00, finishing time depending on order volume)
