  • Load, secure, unload, and position robots using approved restraints, tools, and team-lift procedures.
  • Scan robots and equipment in and out, and document delivery conditions and handoffs at the time of movement.
  • Keep Dispatch updated on progress, delays, site-access issues, and any damage or missing items.
  • Flag any robot that isn't ready to Service; never make repairs or configuration changes.
  • Represent Figure professionally at customer sites and residences.

Requirements:

  • 2+ years in delivery, logistics, fleet, field, or warehouse operations.
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record; comfortable driving vans and box trucks up to 26 ft with liftgate.
  • Experience moving high-value, fragile, or heavy equipment safely.
  • Can lift up to 50 lbs and safely maneuver robots using carts and team lifts.
  • Strong attention to detail and consistent use of checklists and scanning apps.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Able to work 8+ hours, occasional weekends, and extended hours when needed.
  • Thrive in a fast paced environment.

Bonus Qualifications:

  • Box truck, liftgate, or white-glove delivery experience.
  • Forklift, pallet jack, or load securement training.
  • Experience with barcode scanning or electronic proof of delivery.
