Clay, N.Y. — Wondering how you can apply for one of the 1,000 jobs that will be created at the huge Amazon distribution center under construction in Clay?
Amazon expects to open the $350 million, 3.8-million-square-foot center in September 2021, so you’ve got time. Company spokeswoman Rachael Lighty said the online retailer will start hiring a couple of months before the facility opens.
“So, we’re about one year away from hiring,” she said.
Anyone interested in applying for a job can sign up on the company’s website to receive email alerts about available jobs. Or they can text AMAZON to 77088 to receive text alerts on their smartphone about job opportunities with the company.
They can also search on the company’s jobs website for positions at any Amazon location around the globe. (The site will not show jobs for the Clay site for about a year, though.)

Lighty said most of the jobs in Clay will be fulfillment associate positions. Workers in those jobs will bring merchandise (books, electronics, household goods, toys and other small products) into the building, load it into storage pods, pull it from those pods to fill customer orders, package it and load it back onto a truck for shipment.
In addition, Amazon will be hiring for human resources, operations management, safety, security, finance and information technology positions.
The jobs will pay a minimum of $15 an hour. The company says full-time employees receive comprehensive benefits, including full medical, vision and dental insurance, and a 401(k) retirement plan with a 50% company match on day one. It also offers up to 20 weeks of maternal and parental paid leave.
Amazon says it will pay up to 95% of an associate’s tuition for courses related to in-demand fields, regardless of whether the skills are relevant to a career at Amazon.
Dallas-based developer Trammell Crow co. began construction on the center off Morgan Road in March. Amazon announced Monday that it will be the building’s tenant.
