Job Title: Administrative Assistant

Location: Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Shift: Monday to Friday (8 - 4 with flexibility as hours may vary)

At GFL Environmental, green is more than just our color-it's our commitment.

We operate in a fast-paced, high-energy industrial environment where every day brings a new challenge and a new opportunity to excel.

We are seeking a sharp, highly organized, and resilient Administrative Assistant to serve as the operational backbone of our Sault Ste. Marie site.

This isn't a slow-paced desk job. You will work closely with site and regional leadership to keep our daily operations running smoothly.

If you thrive under pressure and take pride in owning your workflow, this is the role for you.

• Operational & Executive Support: Provide administrative support to site leadership, managing working files, correspondence, and daily operational priorities.

• Reporting & Tracking: Prepare and distribute key operational tracking reports (e.g., Roll-Off Trend Reports, Fuel Usage, Commodity Reports, and inventory metrics).

• Light Project Coordination: Take ownership of administrative sub-projects, coordinating meetings, training workshops, and site initiatives from start to finish.

• Payroll & Finance Support: Assist with the timely and accurate submittal of payroll timesheets, process branch invoices/POs, and support basic general ledger entries.

• Document & Safety Compliance: Maintain digital and physical contracts, bids, and proposals in accordance with company policy, while assisting with safety record maintenance.

• Branch Logistics: Manage incoming/outgoing mail, manage office supplies, and provide occasional customer service support for local branch needs as required.

• Additional Duties: Perform other operational duties as assigned by leadership.

• Proven Administrative Experience: 2+ years in an administrative, office coordination, or operational support role (experience in logistics, industrial, construction, or transport industries is a major plus).

• Project & Priority Management: Excellent organizational skills with the ability to multitask, reprioritize on the fly, and manage shifting deadlines.

• Resilience & Thick Skin: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on industrial environment alongside dynamic leadership.

• Agility & Responsiveness: High ownership mindset with the flexibility to handle urgent operational requests as they arise.

• Tech-Savvy: Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook) and comfortable adapting to new ERP/payroll systems.

• Integrity & Professionalism: High degree of ethics, confidentiality, and sound judgment when handling sensitive business data.

• Competitive annual salary.

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefit coverage.

• Stable, full-time year-round employment with a growing industry leader.

• Opportunity for growth and career advancement within the GFL network.
