Forklift Operator – DHL Supply Chain – Mississauga, ON

DHL Supply Chain is looking for a Forklift Operator to join their team in Mississauga, Ontario. This is a hands-on role within one of the world’s largest logistics companies, offering steady hours, solid pay, and a team-oriented environment where your skills are put to good use every day.

This is a dual-function position that combines forklift operation with picking and packing aerospace parts — specifically components for airplane engines. If you’ve got warehouse experience, a knack for detail, and some time behind the controls of a Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) order picker, this role is worth your attention.

About the Role: Forklift Operator

As a Forklift Operator at DHL Supply Chain in Mississauga, you’ll spend the majority of your shift operating powered material handling equipment (MHE) to move, relocate, stack, and count product. You’ll be cross-trained in picking and packing, with a focus on accuracy and care when handling precision aerospace components.

Safety and compliance are central to this position. You’ll be expected to follow all OSHA and MSDS standards, conduct daily equipment inspections, and maintain a clean, orderly workspace. Working as part of a dynamic warehouse team, your reliability and attention to detail directly impact the accuracy of inventory and the efficiency of outbound shipments.

Benefits and Salary

This full-time position offers a pay rate of $23.50 per hour. Full-time associates at DHL Supply Chain receive a comprehensive benefits package, including medical and dental coverage, standard Long-Term Disability, basic life insurance, and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance. Short-term disability coverage is also included. Optional benefits include additional life and AD&D insurance and critical illness coverage (subject to evidence of insurability). Eligible full-time employees can also take advantage of retirement savings plans including a DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA, Paid Time Off (PTO), paid holidays, and an education reimbursement program. DHL has been certified as a Great Place to Work® and Top Employer in Canada for the third year running.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll be on the floor and active throughout your shift, operating powered equipment and ensuring products are handled accurately and safely. Your work directly supports the accuracy of inventory and the timely preparation of outbound shipments for an aerospace client.

• Operate forklifts, clamp trucks, and other powered MHE equipment for 80% of your shift to load, unload, move, stock, and stage products and materials
• Pick and pack airplane engine components with strong attention to detail, ensuring the correct number and type of product is prepared for shipment
• Verify load accuracy by checking load counts, stability, and product condition, reporting any variances as required
• Maintain records and reports to support accurate inventory tracking
• Comply with all OSHA and MSDS safety standards at all times
• Change equipment batteries or LP tanks and monitor power sources as needed
• Inspect equipment daily and maintain the facility’s tools and materials in a neat, orderly condition
• Assist with physical inventory counts as required

Requirements / Skills

DHL is looking for a reliable, safety-conscious candidate who can hit the ground running in a fast-paced warehouse setting. Prior experience with MHE equipment — particularly VNA order pickers — is a key asset for this role, as is a demonstrated ability to balance speed with accuracy.

• Minimum 6 months’ experience operating a Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) order picker or similar forklift equipment
• Picking and packing experience with strong attention to detail in a fast-paced environment
• Forklift operator certificate or ability to complete a forklift training program within the first 30 days of employment
• Ability to become MHE certified on an Order Picker (Cherry Picker) within the first 15 days
• Good computer skills to support inventory and record-keeping tasks
• High School Diploma or equivalent preferred
• Six months of warehouse experience preferred
