New Amazon team members from the new facility celebrated the opening with an Indigenous Smoking Ceremony, conducted by a local Darkinjung elder. The launch of the new site has created full and part-time job opportunities in the area, including flexible earning options with Amazon Flex, the company’s innovative delivery service.
“We’re pleased to contribute to the local economy through the creation of jobs and flexible earning opportunities for people in the area, and we look forward to delivering what our customers need and being an active member of the community,” said Amazon Australia Director of Operations, Mindy Epsidio-Garcia.
Site Lead James Montecillo began his Amazon career at the Kemps Creek Fulfilment Center and has subsequently overseen Amazon Logistics facilities in Bella Vista, Newcastle, and presently, West Gosford.
“I was very excited to be given the opportunity to launch the West Gosford site; it’s a great community and team to be part of! What I love the most about this role is being able to see the delivery process from end to end and delighting customers with our delivery promises,” Montecillo said.
Amazon Australia logistics sites play a vital role in delivering the ‘last mile’ of the order process and enhancing the delivery experience for the company’s customers in the Central Coast region.
After packages arrive from Amazon Australia fulfillment centers at the West Gosford hub, Amazon Flex delivery partners retrieve and deliver them straight to customers.
“The opening of our logistics site in West Gosford will enable us to provide an enhanced delivery experience for customers in the Central Coast. Building infrastructure closer to where our customers live enables us to deliver to them more efficiently, as well as creating exciting job opportunities for locals in a safe and positive work environment,” added Espidio-Garcia.
The West Gosford site will become the company’s 11th Amazon Logistics location in Australia since it entered the country with facilities in 2017. It will join the Mayfield West site in Newcastle to support the wider Central Coast and Hunter Region.
