North Salt Lake— Amazon has begun hiring new full-time positions for a new delivery station located at 398 E 1100 S St., American Fork, UT, 84003. The company is also announcing a lease for a new delivery station at 989 West Center Street, North Salt Lake, UT, 84054, set to open next year. Collectively, these new delivery stations will add hundreds of new full- and part-time roles to Amazon’s Utah delivery network.
“We are thrilled to launch Amazon’s third delivery station in Utah and to announce the lease of our fourth delivery station in North Salt Lake,” said Sean Healy, Director of Amazon Logistics. “Delivery stations power the last mile of our order fulfillment process. These new facilities will help us reach new customers across the state and will help us ensure exceptional customer service and fast shipping speeds.”
Utah’s new facilities are among more than 150 Amazon delivery stations in the US.
Delivery stations also offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to build their own business delivering Amazon packages, as well as give independent contractors the flexibility to be their own bosses and create their own schedules delivering for Amazon Flex. Those interested are encouraged to visit logistics.amazon.com.
“These new delivery businesses will be in addition to the more than 21,000 small- and medium-sized businesses, sellers, and independent authors in Utah that are currently growing their businesses with Amazon,” Healy added.
Since 2010, Amazon has invested more than $1 billion in Utah, including infrastructure and compensation to employees. Overall, the company’s investments have contributed more than $956 million to the state’s GDP.
In addition to Amazon’s minimum $15 wage, delivery station employees will receive industry-leading benefits starting on day one including comprehensive health, vision and dental insurance, 401(k) with 50 percent match, and up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave. Amazon has pledged to invest more than $700 million to provide upskilling training for 100,000 U.S. employees for in-demand jobs. Programs will help Amazonians from all backgrounds access training to move into highly skilled roles across the company’s corporate offices, tech hubs, fulfillment centers, retails stores, and transportation network, or to pursue career paths outside of Amazon.

Additional employee safety information:
Amazon is doing everything we can to keep our employees as safe as possible. Across operations, Amazon has invested more than $4 billion from April to June on COVID-19 safety measures. This includes spending more than $800 million in the first half of the year on safety supplies such as masks, hand sanitizer, thermal cameras, sanitizing wipes, gloves, adding disinfectant spraying in buildings, and procuring COVID testing supplies.
Amazon is also redeploying team members from their typical roles to perform safety related tasks and audits at sites around the world like “social distancing ambassadors” and team members helping with temperature checks. Amazon’s teams are adjusting rapidly implementing policy changes on a daily, and sometimes hourly, basis to support our teams and customers. A full list of current preventative health measures Amazon is taking to protect its employees can be found here.
In these unprecedented times, Amazon remains committed to the health and safety of our employees, partners, and the customers we serve. We know many people have been economically impacted as jobs in areas like hospitality, restaurants, and travel are lost or furloughed as part of this crisis, and we welcome anyone out of work to join us at Amazon until their past employer can bring them back.
We have moved as much of our hiring process as possible from physical to virtual steps. Although some hiring steps must still be completed in person, candidates can now complete more steps from home than before.
