Forklift Operator – DHL Supply Chain – Mississauga, ON

One of the world’s most recognized logistics leaders is looking for a skilled Forklift Operator to join the DHL Supply Chain team at their facility in Mississauga, Ontario. If you thrive in a fast-paced warehouse environment and take pride in keeping operations running smoothly, this is a great opportunity to grow with a global powerhouse that’s been certified as a Great Place to Work® and Top Employer in Canada for three years running.

Working Monday through Friday on a 7am–3pm shift, you’ll be part of a dynamic team in the AEMCE sector, operating powered equipment to move, stack, and manage product with precision.

About the Role: Forklift Operator

As a Forklift Operator at DHL Supply Chain in Mississauga, your primary focus will be on operating powered industrial equipment — including forklifts, clamp trucks, and other powered vehicles — to load, unload, move, stock, and stage products and materials throughout the warehouse. You’ll be spending approximately 80% of your shift behind the controls, keeping the flow of goods accurate and efficient.

Beyond operating equipment, you’ll play a key role in maintaining inventory accuracy, verifying inbound and outbound products, and ensuring everything meets customer requirements. Compliance with OSHA and MSDS standards is essential, and you’ll be expected to complete daily equipment inspections and maintain a clean, organized facility. The ideal candidate brings a minimum of 6 months of experience operating an Order Picker in a Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) wire guide and a Reach Truck.
