This particular role sits within a specialized operation involving picking and packing parts for airplane engines, making it a genuinely unique opportunity in the warehousing and logistics space.

Working Monday to Friday from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM, this position offers a consistent part-time schedule with meaningful hands-on responsibilities. You’ll be cross-trained in both picking and packing and expected to operate Material Handling Equipment (MHE), including a Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) order picker, as part of a collaborative and fast-moving warehouse team.

About the Role: Part-Time Forklift Packing Operator

The core function of this role is to operate powered warehouse equipment — including forklifts, clamp trucks, and order pickers — to move, relocate, stack, and count product throughout the facility. You’ll be responsible for both inbound and outbound product verification, confirming that items are damage-free, properly coded, and aligned with customer specifications. This dual-function position gives you exposure to multiple areas of warehouse operations.

Accuracy and attention to detail are essential in this role. You’ll be expected to maintain inventory records, comply with all relevant occupational health and safety standards, and keep your equipment and workspace in top condition. Whether you’re verifying load stability or completing daily equipment inspections, your thoroughness directly supports the integrity of the supply chain.

Benefits and Salary

This position offers a pay rate of $23.50 per hour. While core benefits such as medical, dental, Long-Term Disability, basic life insurance, AD&D, and short-term disability are available to full-time associates, optional benefits like DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA savings plans, as well as optional life and critical illness coverage, are available to all eligible employees. Full-time associates additionally qualify for Paid Time Off (PTO), paid holidays, and an education reimbursement programme.

Responsibilities

In this forklift operator role, your day-to-day work centres on keeping products moving safely and accurately through the warehouse. From loading and unloading to verifying shipment details, every task you perform contributes to a reliable and efficient supply chain operation.

• Operate powered equipment — including forklifts, clamp trucks, and order pickers — for moving, stacking, and counting product for at least 80% of each shift
• Pick and prepare product for shipment, verifying that the exact quantities and types of items are loaded correctly
• Verify load accuracy by checking count, stability, and condition of products, and reporting any variances

• Perform daily equipment inspections and manage battery or LP tank changes as required
• Assist with physical inventories and keep equipment, materials, and work areas neat and orderly
• Comply with all OSHA and MSDS standards to maintain a safe and compliant workplace
