Amazon Australia opens new logistics site in West Gosford, NSW, creating local job opportunities and supporting efficient and seamless delivery of customer orders in-and-around the Central Coast.
The West Gosford site will serve as a distribution point for Amazon packages, allowing for seamless delivery of customer orders in the surrounding areas.
It has also created operational jobs and offers flexible earning opportunities for locals through Amazon Flex, a delivery service that allows people to work when it suits them and earn extra money using their own vehicle.
Amazon’s logistics sites play a crucial role in the final leg of the order process which greatly enhances the delivery experience for Amazon customers residing in nearby areas. The packages are first transported to the West Gosford site from Amazon’s fulfilment centres, where they are then collected by delivery partners associated with Amazon Flex to be transported directly to customers.
Amazon Australia’s Director of Operations, Mindy Epsidio-Garcia, expressed her excitement over the new site and the opportunity it presents to contribute to the local economy.
“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,” said Epsidio-Garcia.
James Montecillo, the site lead at West Gosford, started his career at Amazon at the Kemps Creek Fulfilment Centre and has since gone on to lead Amazon Logistics sites in Bella Vista, Newcastle and now West Gosford. He is excited to be part of the team launching the West Gosford site and enjoys seeing the delivery process from end to end.
The West Gosford site is Amazon’s 11th logistics site in Australia and joins the Mayfield West site in Newcastle to support the greater Central Coast and Hunter Region.
