Material Handler – DHL Supply Chain – Fort Saskatchewan, AB

DHL Supply Chain is bringing on a Material Handler at their Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta facility — a solid opportunity for anyone with hands-on warehouse and equipment experience looking for stable, full-time work with a globally recognized logistics leader. If you’re comfortable behind a forklift and thrive in a structured warehouse environment, this 1st Shift role is worth a close look.

Day-to-day, you’ll be working across the warehouse floor — operating powered material handling equipment including a Forklift, Reach Truck, and Power Pallet-Jack, while managing the flow of inbound and outbound product. This is a hands-on position where accuracy, safety, and efficiency go hand in hand.

About the Role: Material Handler

As a Material Handler with DHL Supply Chain, you’ll be responsible for the accurate movement, stacking, and counting of product throughout the facility. You’ll receive and issue product in the system, conduct put-away and picking tasks, and verify outgoing shipments against customer orders to ensure everything is correct and complete. Working in and around racking systems is a core part of the job, and attention to detail when it comes to product condition, labelling, and quantities is essential.

Beyond moving product, you’ll also be responsible for daily equipment inspections, maintaining a clean and orderly work area, and reporting any discrepancies such as OS&D (Over, Short & Damaged) issues. You’ll assist with physical inventories and monitor equipment power sources — including battery or LP tank changes as needed. This is a role where reliability and a safety-first mindset make a real difference.

Benefits and Salary

This position pays $23.50 per hour, with overtime available during Turnaround periods (typically 1–2 times per year). Full-time associates receive a comprehensive benefits package including medical and dental coverage, basic life insurance, accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, short-term disability, and a standard Long-Term Disability option. Optional benefits include additional life and AD&D coverage and critical illness insurance. You’ll also have access to retirement savings plans including a DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA. Eligible full-time associates can also take advantage of paid time off, paid holidays, and an education reimbursement program. DHL has been certified as a Great Place to Work® and Top Employer in Canada for the third consecutive year.

In this Material Handler role, you’ll be actively involved in the full product lifecycle within the warehouse — from receiving and put-away through to order picking, verification, and outbound shipment. Getting these steps right directly impacts customer satisfaction and the smooth operation of the supply chain.

• Operate powered equipment including Forklift, Reach Truck, and Power Pallet-Jack to move, locate, stack, and count product
