About the Role: Forklift Operator

As a Receiving Operator at DHL Supply Chain in Mississauga, your main function is to safely and efficiently operate powered equipment to move, locate, relocate, stack, and count product throughout the facility. You’ll also be responsible for checking all inbound and outbound products, verifying that shipments are free of damage, properly labelled, and match customer requirements.

Working in this environment demands a strong commitment to safety compliance, accuracy, and teamwork.
