“Walmart is excited to welcome our first fulfillment center in
Salt Lake City to support our growing ecommerce fulfillment
network,” said Steve Miller, senior vice president of Supply Chain
Operations at Walmart U.S. “This new facility is the latest of
example of Walmart’s commitment to offering customers fast shipping
on items they need every day, and we look forward to further
delivering on that promise with the development of this new,
state-of-the-art facility.”
Walmart fulfillment centers are an important part of the
retailer’s supply chain network. Unlike distribution centers, which
are focused on receiving, storing and distributing product to
Walmart stores, fulfillment centers are focused on storing millions
of items that are picked, packed and shipped directly to customers
as soon as next-day. The facility is part of a broader initiative
to add more capacity into Walmart’s supply chain as the retailer
prepares for growth. In Q3 of FY22, Walmart U.S. eCommerce sales
grew 8% for the quarter and 87% over the past two years.
Walmart is currently hiring full-time positions for the
fulfillment center, including the following leadership roles:
General Manager; Environmental, Health and Safety Operations
Manager; Maintenance Manager; and Human Resources Manager.
Full-time positions qualify for Walmart’s total rewards and
benefits plans, including medical, vision and dental insurance,
401(k) matching, paid time off, a quarterly incentive program and
access to a free college degree. Candidates can search open
positions and complete applications online at
careers.walmart.com.
Walmart operates 3 distribution centers, 59 retail stores and
employs 20,000+ associates in the state of Utah. In FYE 21, stores,
clubs and the Walmart Foundation gave $19.4 million in cash and
in-kind donations to local Utah organizations.
