Forklift Operator – DHL Supply Chain – Mississauga, ON

DHL Supply Chain is actively hiring a Forklift Operator for its Mississauga, Ontario location — and this is a full-time, permanent role with competitive pay and a solid benefits package. As part of one of the world’s largest logistics companies, you’ll be working in a dual-function position that involves picking and packing parts for airplane engines, bringing both variety and purpose to your day-to-day work.

This isn’t your average warehouse job. You’ll operate powered material handling equipment (MHE), including order pickers and forklifts, while also supporting inbound and outbound product verification and maintaining accurate inventory records. The shift runs Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM — no evening or weekend work required.

About the Role: Forklift Operator

As a Full-Time Receiving Operator at DHL Supply Chain in Mississauga, your primary responsibility is to safely and efficiently operate powered equipment to move, locate, stack, and count product. You’ll work as part of a dynamic warehouse team, cross-trained in both picking and packing, with a focus on aerospace engine components. Accuracy, attention to detail, and a safety-first mindset are essential in this environment.

Beyond operating equipment, you’ll play an active role in product verification, inventory accuracy, and compliance with all relevant safety standards including OSHA and MSDS requirements. You’ll be expected to complete daily equipment inspections, monitor power sources, and maintain a clean and organized workspace — all while contributing to a team-driven culture that DHL has been recognized for as a Great Place to Work® and Top Employer in Canada for three consecutive years.

Benefits and Salary

This full-time role pays $23.50 per hour. DHL offers a well-rounded benefits package for full-time associates, including medical and dental coverage, basic life and AD&D insurance, short-term disability, and a standard Long-Term Disability option. Optional benefits include additional life and critical illness insurance. Associates also have access to DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA savings plans to support long-term financial wellness. Additional perks include paid time off (PTO), paid holidays, and an education reimbursement program for those looking to grow their skills.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll spend the majority of your shift operating forklifts, clamp trucks, and other powered equipment to keep product moving efficiently through the facility. Your contributions directly support DHL’s commitment to accurate, on-time logistics for a highly specialized aviation parts client.

• Operate forklifts, clamp trucks, and other power equipment to load, unload, move, stock, and stage products and materials for 80% of each shift
• Pick and prepare product for shipment, ensuring the exact number and types of items are correctly loaded

• Comply with all OSHA and MSDS standards to maintain a safe working environment
• Assist with physical inventories and support warehouse operations as directed
• Keep the facility and all equipment neat, clean, and organized at all times
