Forklift Operator – DHL Supply Chain – Brampton, ON

DHL Supply Chain is hiring a Forklift Operator for its 3rd Shift operation in Brampton, Ontario. As part of the world’s largest logistics company — and a certified Great Place to Work® and Top Employer in Canada for three years running — this is your chance to step into a role that keeps global commerce moving. If you’re experienced with stand-up forklifts, reach trucks, or push/pull equipment, DHL wants to hear from you.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced warehouse position with a strong emphasis on both manual case-picking and powered equipment operation. You’ll spend the majority of your shift ensuring products are accurately picked, staged, and ready for shipment — all while maintaining DHL’s high standards for safety and inventory accuracy.

About the Role: Forklift Operator

As a 3rd Shift Forklift Operator, you’ll be responsible for operating powered material handling equipment (MHE) — including dock stockers and reach trucks — to move, stack, and count product throughout the facility. Approximately 80% of your shift involves case-picking by hand (up to 50 lbs), with the remaining 20% dedicated to MHE operation. You’ll also verify inbound and outbound product accuracy, check for damage, and ensure goods match customer requirements.

Working the Sunday through Friday night shift (11:00 pm – 7:00 am), you’ll be part of a team that takes workplace safety, equipment care, and operational excellence seriously. From completing daily equipment inspections to complying with OSHA and MSDS standards, every task you complete contributes to a smooth and efficient supply chain.

Benefits and Salary

This position pays $23.25 per hour, and full-time associates are eligible for monthly performance bonuses. DHL offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical and dental coverage, basic life and AD&D insurance, short-term and long-term disability, and optional critical illness coverage. You’ll also have access to retirement savings plans including DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA options, plus paid time off, paid holidays, and an education reimbursement program to help you grow your career.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll be at the heart of DHL’s warehouse operations — handling everything from product movement and staging to inventory verification and equipment upkeep. These responsibilities are essential to keeping the supply chain accurate, efficient, and on schedule.

• Operate powered equipment including forklifts, dock stockers, and reach trucks to load, unload, move, and stage products (80% of shift)
• Case-pick by hand products weighing up to 50 lbs as part of daily warehouse duties
• Pull and prepare product for shipment, verifying that the exact number and types of products are loaded correctly
• Verify load accuracy by checking load counts, stability, and product condition, and report any variances promptly
• Maintain accurate records and reports to support ongoing inventory accuracy
• Comply with all OSHA and MSDS standards to ensure a safe and regulation-compliant work environment
• Inspect equipment daily and change batteries or LP tanks as required; keep all equipment and materials clean and orderly
• Assist with physical inventories and support the broader warehouse team as needed

Requirements / Skills

DHL is looking for candidates who bring a solid foundation of warehouse and forklift experience, a strong commitment to safety, and the reliability to thrive on an overnight shift. If you’re comfortable with stand-up or reach truck equipment and enjoy working in a structured, team-oriented environment, this could be the right fit for you.

• Forklift operator certificate or willingness to complete a certified forklift-training program within the first 30 days of employment
• Six months of forklift operation experience, particularly with stand-up forklifts, push/pull attachments, or reach trucks
• Six months of warehouse experience preferred, with familiarity in a fast-paced logistics or distribution setting
