Appliance Warehouse Associate

Mountain High Appliance | Denver, CO Reports To: Warehouse Manager Job Type: Full-Time | In-Person Pay: $20.00 – $24.00 per hour Schedule: Monday – Friday | 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM About Mountain High Appliance Locally owned and operated since 1993, Mountain High Appliance is Colorado's most complete appliance source, offering every major appliance line as well as in-house delivery and professional installation. With five showrooms across the state and a best-in-class selection featuring over 250 live appliances across more than 20 inspiring kitchen displays, we've built our reputation on doing things right - before, during, and after the sale. Our warehouse team is a critical part of that promise. Without the work happening behind the scenes, nothing else functions - and the people who do it well make a real difference every single day. About the Role As a Warehouse Associate at Mountain High Appliance, you'll be at the center of our receiving and fulfillment operation - making sure appliances are received accurately, stored safely, and staged correctly for delivery and installation. This is a physically demanding, fast-paced role that requires someone who takes safety seriously, pays attention to detail, and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly. Our warehouse team is close-knit and hardworking - and they hold each other to a high standard while keeping things fun. If you're someone who takes accountability seriously, stays positive when things get busy, and adapts well to change, this is a great team to be part of. This is also a role where flexibility matters. What our warehouse operations look like today is not what they'll look like in six months or a year - we're growing and evolving, and we want someone who sees that as an opportunity rather than an inconvenience.
