Coordinate With Store Teams
Communicate with Freight and Fulfillment associates about product placement, stock levels and merchandise movement throughout the store.
Required Experience and Equipment Use
Home Depot lists a high school diploma or equivalent and a minimum of one year of receiving experience for this position. Previous forklift experience is considered an asset and can be particularly relevant given the amount of freight handling involved.
Receiving Associates are required to be licensed for the powered lift equipment used in their duties. This can include electric pallet jacks, reach trucks, order pullers and forklifts used when unloading shipments and moving products between receiving and designated store areas.
Skills That May Help Candidates Succeed

Sharing accurate information with other associates helps coordinate stocking, fulfillment and product movement across different store areas.
Maintaining orderly staging and receiving areas contributes to more efficient freight processing and safer movement throughout the workspace.
Physical Demands and Work Environment
The job requires frequent bending, reaching, twisting, lifting, pushing, pulling and moving merchandise. Associates may need to handle heavy or bulky items without assistance, spend significant time walking and standing, and climb ladders approximately 12 to 16 feet high to retrieve or stock products.
The receiving environment may be dusty and noisy, with forklifts and other heavy equipment moving through work areas.
