Amazon To Fill Seasonal Part-, Full-Time Jobs In Edison

EDISON, NJ — With the holidays rolling around, Amazon announced it is hiring workers for 150,000 seasonal jobs across the U.S. including 5,500 in New Jersey, with starting pay of $18 per hour.

The jobs also include sign-on bonuses up to $3,000 and an additional $3 per hour depending on shifts in many locations. The seasonal roles in New Jersey are in addition to the 8,000 full and part-time operations jobs announced for New Jersey previously, as billionaire Jeff Bezos' multinational e-commerce company continues expansion in the Garden State.

Amazon has job openings in Edison, Carteret, Cranbury, Monroe, Middletown among other townships.

“We are proud to be offering a huge range of full-time, part-time, and now seasonal jobs with great pay and benefits,” Alicia Boler Davis, Senior Vice President, Global Customer Fulfillment said in a statement.

“Our seasonal hiring helps us deliver on our promises to customers while also providing flexibility to our full-time employees during busy periods. Joining Amazon in one of our seasonal roles offers high-paying, part-time work, or a path to a full-time position, with benefits like our Career Choice program to help people advance their education and careers within Amazon or beyond.”

Jobs in Amazon’s operations network include stowing, picking, packing, shipping, and more. New hires will be trained and all facilities follow strict COVID-19 health and safety protocols, the company said.

Seasonal employees will help support full-time employees across over 250 new fulfillment centers, sortation centers, regional air hubs, and delivery stations that opened in the U.S. in 2021.

States with the greatest number of seasonal roles include Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
