RALEIGH – Amazon is going to be adding “hundreds of jobs” at each of two new delivery stations to be opened later this year.

The company has signed leases for new centers – which are geared to handle last-mile services and “speed up” deliveries- in Raleigh and Garner.

Jobs when available will start at $15, said Amazon Logistics, the group handling the new centers.

“We are excited to continue to invest in the state of North Carolina with two new delivery stations that will provide efficient delivery for customers, and create hundreds of job opportunities for the talented Triangle workforce. These new delivery stations represent Amazon’s unwavering commitment to safety, technological innovations and skilled teams who are obsessed with delivering for our customers,” said Ashley Lansdale, a spokesperson for Amazon.

The additions expand Amazon’s Triangle footprint which already includes a huge distribution center in Garner and other delivery stations in Durham and Cary.

The new locations are:

  • 1201 N Greenfield Parkway, Garner
  • 4524 New Bern Ave., Raleigh

Here’s how Amazon defines the new operations:

“Delivery stations power the last mile of Amazon’s order fulfillment process. Packages are transported to delivery stations from Amazon fulfillment and sortation centers, and then loaded into vehicles for delivery to customers. There are currently three Amazon delivery stations in operation in the Triangle and eight in the state of North Carolina. Amazon has more than 250 delivery stations in the US.”

These expansions follow Amazon’s recent agreement with Wake Tech to offer training in robotics for workers at the Garner warehouse.

“We are very pleased to hear that Amazon is expanding in Garner. They have already created 3,000 new jobs at the company’s fulfillment center on Jones Sausage Road. This new facility will create hundreds of additional job opportunities – and that’s great news for Garner.” said Garner Mayor Ken Marshburn in the announcement.

Added Raleigh Mayoer MaryAnn Baldwin: “Amazon’s announcement is yet another example of the diverse business community finding success in the region. It is my pleasure to congratulate Amazon on this milestone and expansion. The investment will create hundreds of new full time opportunities for Amazon employees adding to our City’s pandemic recovery efforts.”
