stower

Luggage compartment filler

A stower is someone who stows things—packs or stores items in an orderly way.

The term appears most often in warehouse and shipping contexts, where stowers place goods on shelves or load cargo into containers: Amazon hired seasonal stowers for the holiday rush.

On ships, a stower secures cargo for transport.
