Warehouse Associate - Returns, Refurbishment & Resale

Job Description: Job Description Every e-commerce company has returns. Most treat them as a problem – we build a business out of them. ATLETICA, a German fitness equipment brand, is entering the US market and just opened its first operation in Corona, CA, and our returns & resale channel gets built from day one, by you. You will handle all returns from A to Z: take them in, decide whether they’re resellable, assemble and build them up when they’re not, and bring them to our resale platforms and warehouse outlet. A rare opportunity to own a whole area from the start – and grow as ATLETICA scales.

Decide whether it’s resellable as it is – back to stock or open-box on sale (with clear guidelines) Build it up if not: assemble, repair, and replace parts – bolted steel frames, cable-and-pulley systems, benches, and racks – until it’s ready to sell Bring it to resale: photograph, describe, price, and list every item on our resale platforms – and handle buyer questions and orders Run our warehouse outlet: sell to local customers in person at our point of sale Keep clean records: return reasons, item grades, and recovery value – your data shows us why products come backWHAT YOU BRINGTrustworthy: you run this area independently – valuable inventory, honest grading, real money, clean records. We count on your judgment every day Resourceful: you can assemble products even without an assembly manual – good reasoning and common sense get you there – and when a part is missing, you’re willing to track down the right spare part to bring the item back to sellable condition Tech-savvy: very comfortable with digital tools – marketplace listings, point-of-sale, phone-camera product photos, inventory apps – and quick to pick up new software Dynamic and hands-on: energy and pace matter – you’d rather build something than sit at a desk A mechanical background is a must: you come from an industry where assembling metal products is the daily work – think fitness equipment service, bicycle or motorcycle mechanics, machinery or equipment assembly, metal fabrication, furniture/appliance installation, automotive, or maintenance Confident with hand and power tools – hex/Allen keys, torque wrench, impact driver – and used to working from assembly instructions and exploded-view drawings A feel for bolted connections and moving parts: frames square and tight, hardware torqued, cables and pulleys running smoothly, nothing wobbles when you’re done Selling on an online marketplace is a strong plus – your own private reseller account absolutely counts, and we’ll train the rest Comfort with physical work: lifting up to 50 lbs Working onsite in Corona, CA is a must – this is not a remote job (retail/POS experience a plus)PAY & BENEFITS$22 – $25 per hour, depending on experience Medical and dental insurance Paid time off (PTO) Your own domain: workshop, resale listings, and outlet – you build the U.S. re-commerce channel from zero Founding-team role in the U.S. launch of an established European brandSCHEDULE & LOCATIONFull-time, Monday to Friday, daytime hours Onsite at our new warehouse: 1645 Leeson Lane, Corona, CA 92879 Start: September 2026 – immediate start possible
