Amazon has announced plans to open a new fulfilment centre in Florida, US in 2022, which will create more than 500 full-time jobs. The centre will be built over an area of one million square feet and will be used for packing and shipping Amazon products. Amazon currently employs more than 52,000 full-time associates throughout the state of Florida.

The company already has fulfilment and sortation centres in Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville in Florida.

Amazon also plans to hire for roles in human resources, operations management, safety, security, finance and information technology at the new centre, the company said in a media release.

“We’re excited to expand our network to better serve our customers in Port St. Lucie,” said Mark Marzano, director of operations at Amazon. “We are grateful for the strong support we’ve received from local and state leaders as we broaden our footprint throughout the Sunshine State. We look forward to bringing more than 500 good jobs to St. Lucie County and contributing positively to the community.”

"The city of Port St. Lucie is thrilled to be home to the latest Amazon fulfilment centre. At more than 1 million square feet, the building will be the largest in Port St. Lucie," said Port St. Lucie vice mayor Shannon Martin. "More importantly, Amazon will employ about 500 local people, offering full-time jobs with fantastic benefits from Day One."
