GEODIS expanded its presence in the Garden State with its acquisition of a Keasbey-based logistics firm in August. Now, the company is seeking to expand its workforce in New Jersey ahead of the 2022 holiday season.

The transportation and logistics provider recently said it would hire 125 seasonal employees for its more than 933,000-square-foot Monroe Township facility.

The initiative is part of a broader company push to add approximately 5,000 seasonal workers across 20 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Overall, GEODIS has more than 650 teammates in the Garden State across three facilities.

The company says it is looking to add material handlers and equipment operators and offering competitive pay and referral bonuses, the choice between part-time or full-time seasonal work, expedited payment options before pay day, free access to telemedicine services, and more.

“Everyone deserves to work in an environment that is positive, supportive and makes them feel valued, and that’s what our team and managers continually bring to the table,” said GEODIS in Americas Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Anthony Jordan. “In addition, our doors are open to those seeking temporary work or even a career. It doesn’t matter who you are; all backgrounds are welcome.”

The company says it’s keeping COVID in mind, as well, offering warehouses with socially distant workstations, frequent surface cleanings and technology that helps to deliver reports within the work environment to mitigate potential outbreaks.
