DHL Supply Chain is looking for a Material Handler to join their second shift team in Milton, Ontario. If you have forklift experience and a solid background in warehouse operations, this is a strong opportunity to grow within one of the world’s largest logistics networks.

Working Monday through Friday from 2:00pm to 10:00pm, this role puts you at the centre of a fast-moving supply chain operation. You’ll be responsible for keeping product moving safely and accurately — from inbound receiving through to outbound shipping — using powered equipment and sharp attention to detail.

About the Role: Material Handler

As a Material Handler at DHL Supply Chain, you’ll operate forklift equipment to move, locate, relocate, stack, and count product throughout the facility. Your core responsibility is ensuring that all inbound and outbound products are checked, damage-free, correctly labelled, and matched to customer requirements before they leave the dock.

Beyond operating equipment, you’ll contribute to physical inventory counts, maintain a clean and orderly workspace, inspect equipment daily, and report any discrepancies in stock or shipments. Teamwork, accuracy, and accountability are central to how this role functions day to day.

Full-time associates at DHL Supply Chain receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical and dental coverage, standard Long-Term Disability, basic life insurance, accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, and short-term disability. Optional benefits include additional life and AD&D coverage, critical illness coverage, and retirement savings plans including a DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA. Eligible associates also receive paid time off, paid holidays, and access to an education reimbursement program.
