Stock Associate

Join The Home Depot as a Stock Associate and play a vital role in keeping our store running smoothly. As a Stock Associate, you will receive merchandise, stock shelves, and ensure products are organized and accessible for customers. You will work both in the warehouse and on the sales floor, using equipment like pallet jacks and order pickers to move products efficiently and safely throughout the store.

In this active, hands-on role, you will unload delivery trucks, verify shipments against invoices, and distribute products to their proper locations. You will build merchandise displays, maintain organized stockrooms, and help locate hard-to-find items for customers and sales associates. Your attention to detail and organizational skills will ensure our shelves are fully stocked and our warehouse operates efficiently.

The Home Depot provides comprehensive equipment training and safety certification for all Stock Associates.
