Job Description

Staples is a leading business-to-business company, well-recognized for its commitment to delivering excellent products and services to customers across various sectors. As a company devoted to the supply chain, Staples prides itself on fostering a work culture centered around people and innovation. The organization leverages cutting-edge technology combined with a dynamic team environment to create more efficient and smarter delivery solutions. Staples' supply chain network comprises distribution centers, fulfillment hubs, fleet management, furniture installation, and professional teams, all working seamlessly to ensure high-quality service and customer satisfaction. The company operates in a spirit of collaboration and safety, prioritizing both employee and customer wellbeing in every facet of its operations.

In this context, Staples is currently seeking a dedicated Cover Delivery Driver to join their Supply Chain team. This role operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm and involves covering different route assignments for vacations or absences approximately half of the time. The Cover Delivery Driver will be responsible for the timely and safe delivery of office supplies and other products directly to customers, playing a crucial role in maintaining operational continuity. Beyond just delivering, the driver will provide outstanding customer service by addressing concerns, accepting product returns when necessary, and enhancing the overall customer experience.

The role requires proficiency in using technology, including GPS systems and mobile Proof of Delivery devices, to optimize delivery routes and schedules. At times, depending on volume, the driver will also assist with loading the vehicle and organizing products efficiently. Staples emphasizes safety as a core value, expecting the driver to actively promote safe work practices and contribute positively to the company’s safety culture. The position demands a problem solver with excellent interpersonal skills who can effectively collaborate with customers and colleagues alike.

Staples offers competitive pay ranging from $22.75 to $25.00 per hour based on experience, with opportunities to earn additional compensation through its Safety Program. The company provides comprehensive benefits for full-time employees, including paid time off, holiday pay, company match 401(k), wellness programs, and retail discounts. There is a strong emphasis on inclusivity and employee development, supported by associate-led Business Resource Groups. Overall, this role presents a fantastic opportunity for individuals looking to grow within a supportive and innovative business-to-business supply chain environment.
