• Proven experience operating forklifts and rider pallet jacks in a warehouse or similar environment.
• Ability to work a contract role through the end of the year, including flexibility for overtime and varying start and end times.

• Familiarity with RF scanning technology and pick sheet-based order fulfillment.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with frequent inbound and outbound deliveries.
• Strong attention to detail to ensure accurate order picking, pallet building, and shipment preparation.
• Ability to work collaboratively within a small team while also performing tasks independently.
• Willingness to work on statutory holidays when they fall on scheduled workdays, except for designated days off such as Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Why Work Here?

You join a warehouse team that values collaboration, long-term relationships, and a positive work culture. The company fosters a supportive environment with team-building activities, such as events, pizza lunches, and food truck days, and is committed to bringing these back when possible. Many employees have long tenures, reflecting strong job satisfaction and stability. Contractors have successfully transitioned into permanent roles, demonstrating real opportunities for long-term growth and continued employment.

Work Environment

You work in a fast-paced, busy warehouse with constant deliveries arriving and leaving throughout the day.

The role involves regular use of forklifts, rider pallet jacks (including Crown electric and Nissan), RF scanners, and related warehouse equipment. The schedule runs from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with flexibility of about plus or minus one hour on start and end times. Overtime is frequently required, typically around 1 hour per day, though not every week. The standard workweek is Monday to Saturday, with Sunday and Tuesday as days off. Employees are expected to work statutory holidays when they fall on scheduled workdays, except for Christmas Day and Boxing Day, which are off; work is expected on New Year’s Eve and Remembrance Day. The shift includes two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch break. The environment includes refrigerated coolers, with the coldest around 1°C, and you may enter these areas for short periods of up to 10 minutes at a time.
