Gabriella & Co

WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS SPECIALIST

Location: Laval, QC

Terms: Full-Time Permanent and On-Site

Compensation: $24–$26/hour

Hours: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY:

This role is on behalf of an established international machinery and engineering company with a distribution centre in Laval, QC. The company has been in operation for over 70 years and is a recognized leader in technically advanced niche markets globally.

Their Laval office operates with a small, tight-knit team where long-term tenure is the norm — many team members have been with the company for over 20 years. The culture is family-oriented, collaborative, and people-first.

This is not a typical warehouse role. This is a career growth opportunity for someone ready to take full ownership of a one-person warehouse operation and grow with a company that genuinely invests in its people.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

You will be responsible for the entire warehouse and logistics function — independently managing day-to-day operations with full autonomy after an initial training period. This person must be plug-and-play capable, able to create systems rather than just follow them, and comfortable making independent decisions.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Shipping & Receiving

• Prepare, package, and ship outgoing orders with precision
• Receive and inspect incoming shipments for quantity, quality, and damages
• Resolve discrepancies directly with suppliers

Inventory & Organization

• Maintain accurate inventory levels and stock replenishment
• Conduct annual inventory counts
• Keep the warehouse clean, organized, and efficient at all times

Logistics & Coordination

• Coordinate transportation and obtain shipping quotes
• Prepare shipping documentation including commercial invoices
• Track shipments using SAP or similar ERP systems

Client & Team Communication

• Communicate with long-term customers, suppliers, and the internal team
• Build first-name relationships with key clients across Quebec and Canada
• Support general operations as needed

Process Improvement

• Identify inefficiencies and improve workflows
• Optimize warehouse organization and systems
• Ensure compliance with health and safety standards

Physical Requirements

• Lift and move materials up to 50 lbs
• Operate forklift and warehouse equipment

MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS:

• 2–5+ years of experience in warehouse operations, shipping/receiving, or logistics
• Fully bilingual French and English — written and spoken (non-negotiable)
• Forklift certification or experience (company will cover renewal upon hire)
• Basic computer skills — Outlook, Excel, ERP systems
• Strong communication skills for client-facing interactions
• Ability to work independently, take full ownership, and make autonomous decisions

Assets:

• SAP or ERP system experience
• Experience in a small team or multi-role environment
• Experience improving processes or building systems from scratch

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS:

• $24–$26/hour based on experience
• Guaranteed performance-based increase after 3-month probation
• 100% employer-paid health insurance
• 100% employer-paid dental insurance
• Life insurance
• RRSP matching
• $900/year leisure & wellness allowance (sports equipment, fitness, etc.)
• 3 weeks paid vacation
• Company-paid forklift certification renewal

IDEAL CANDIDATE:

You are someone who thrives in a small, autonomous environment, enjoys building and owning systems rather than just following them, and is looking for long-term stability in a company that genuinely values and invests in its people. No ski or sports industry experience required.

This role is NOT a fit if you prefer a highly structured corporate environment, are only comfortable with repetitive tasks, or are not comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.
