If you have hands-on experience with Material Handling Equipment (MHE) and enjoy working in a structured, fast-paced environment, this could be a solid fit.

This is a dual-function picking and packing role with cross-training opportunities, specifically supporting the handling of parts for airplane engines. You’ll be working steady daytime hours, Monday to Friday, as part of a close-knit warehouse team at one of the most recognized logistics companies in the world.

About the Role: Forklift Operator

As a Part-Time Picking Operator, you’ll be responsible for operating powered material handling equipment to move, locate, stack, and count product throughout the facility.

Compliance with OSHA and MSDS regulations is a key part of daily operations, and maintaining a neat, organized work environment is expected of every team member.

Optional retirement savings plans including DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA are also available.

Responsibilities

Day-to-day, this role keeps the warehouse running smoothly by ensuring product moves efficiently and accurately from receiving through to shipment.
