Amazon Opens Delivery Station In West Caldwell; 130 Jobs Expected

WEST CALDWELL, NJ — A new Amazon delivery station is open in West Caldwell, and it’s expected to create more than 130 full and part-time associate jobs, the company announced Wednesday.

Jobs at the West Caldwell facility will all pay at least $15 per hour. There will also be “hundreds of driver opportunities” for Amazon’s Delivery Service Partners and Amazon Flex drivers, spokespeople said.

More information about open positions is available here.

The facility at 10 Patton Drive is part of the “last mile” of the Amazon order process, and will help to speed up deliveries. Packages will be shipped to the West Caldwell station from nearby Amazon fulfillment and sortation centers, then loaded into delivery vehicles and transported to customers.

In celebration of the West Caldwell station launch, Amazon donated $10,000 to MEND Hunger Relief Network, an interfaith network of food pantries located throughout Essex County.
