Clerical Opportunities


An invaluable support team.

Publix hires or promotes several hundred people each year to fill clerical openings—574 in 2006. These are opportunities for Publix associates or outside candidates to get their foot in the door at our Corporate Offices or at our Distribution Centers and Manufacturing Plants. But our clerical positions are more than just stepping stones to a long career. They are vital to the successful operation of a huge supermarket chain.

 

Their Contributions

Our talented clerical support teams:

  • provide a professional, well-informed reception to the people who call or visit our Corporate Offices, Manufacturing Plants, and Distribution Centers
  • track numbers vital to monitoring our progress in every aspect of the supermarket business
  • process the paperwork involved in operating a billion-dollar enterprise
  • administer voluminous files, both soft and hard copies 
  • handle arrangements for meetings, training sessions, trips, and major events like our annual Leadership Conference.

Their Numbers

We have nearly 1,100 clerical positions in our support areas. Most of them—more than 800—are in our Corporate Offices in Lakeland. The rest are in our Divisional Offices in Atlanta, Jacksonville and Miami, in our Distribution Centers in Atlanta, Boynton Beach, Deerfield Beach, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, and Sarasota, and in our Manufacturing Plants in Atlanta, Deerfield and Jacksonville.

Clerical Positions

Hourly Support 1 positions usually require data entry skills, basic computer skills, and good customer service skills.

Hourly Support 2 and Secretary I positions usually require more advanced computer skills (including the ability to create and proofread documents and spreadsheets), strong customer service skills (including exemplary phone etiquette), and basic research skills. Time management is essential to effectively handle the multi-tasking involved in these positions.

Hourly Support 3 and Secretary II positions usually require some mathematical skills, sophisticated computer skills (including the ability to create and maintain databases), and advanced customer service skills. These associates often serve as a department's primary contact, assist internal and external customers with complex problems, and train other associates about administrative policies and procedures. They perform some analytical tasks, deal with confidential information, and must have the maturity and self-discipline to work independently. These associates are superior multi-taskers!

A few of our clerical positions have other titles such as Distribution Operator and Mail Clerk/Courier. We also have Hourly Support 4 and Hourly Support 5 positions, which require very specialized skills.   Most clerical openings are filled by promoting from within, but there are many clerical opportunities each year that are available to outside candidates.
