Packer in Charlotte, NC

Whole-home and fragile packing, usually the day before a move.

Charlotte — Coming Fall 2026

We're booking quotes and move dates now, and hiring the first Charlotte crew. Everyone on the priority list hears from us before the schedule opens.

The job

What you'd actually be doing

Packing is its own job and its own pace. You're in somebody's kitchen the day before their life goes in a truck, working through cupboards they haven't opened in years.

It's lighter than crew work and less forgiving. A badly packed box doesn't break on the day you packed it.

  • Pack whole homes room by room, kitchens and china cabinets included
  • Wrap glass, art and anything with a corner that chips
  • Label so the crew can put every box in the right room without asking
  • Build cartons and crates for the awkward items
  • Keep track of what's packed and what the customer wants left out

Hourly. Packing days cluster around move dates, so the week is rarely flat.

What we need

Who this works for

  • Fast and genuinely careful, both at once
  • Methodical about labeling
  • Comfortable working inside someone's home
  • Kitchen and glassware experience is a real advantage

Helps, doesn't decide it

Nice to have

  • You've packed for a mover, a gallery or a caterer
  • Steady with a box cutter and a tape gun for hours at a time
  • Available midweek, which is when most packing days fall

Missing all three has never stopped us hiring somebody who turns up and listens.

A resume helps for the operations manager job. For crew work it isn't needed, and never having written one has never cost anybody a shift here.
