Material Handler – DHL Supply Chain – Toronto, ON

DHL Supply Chain is looking for a Material Handler to join their Toronto, Ontario warehouse team on the day shift. As one of the world’s largest logistics companies — and a certified Great Place to Work® and Top Employer in Canada for three consecutive years — DHL offers a stable, rewarding environment where your hands-on warehouse skills are put to good use every day.

This is a Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:30pm position centred around material handling, receiving, sorting, and palletizing product. If you’re comfortable on your feet and familiar with warehouse equipment, this role gives you a solid footing in one of the most essential industries in the world.

About the Role: Material Handler

As a Material Handler at DHL Supply Chain in Toronto, you’ll be responsible for the safe and efficient movement of product throughout the facility. The bulk of your day — roughly 90% — involves manual material handling of items up to 50 lbs, while the remaining time involves operating Material Handling Equipment (MHE) such as an Electric Pallet Jack and Counterbalance Truck. You’ll also be responsible for receiving and sorting packages and palletizing them accurately.

The role requires attention to detail when it comes to inbound and outbound product verification — checking for damage, matching product codes, and ensuring orders are fulfilled correctly. You’ll also play a part in keeping the facility clean and equipment in top condition through daily inspections and general housekeeping standards.

This position pays $20.75 per hour. Full-time associates at DHL Supply Chain receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical and dental coverage, basic life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, short-term disability, and a standard Long-Term Disability option. Optional coverage is also available, including additional life and AD&D insurance and critical illness coverage. On the retirement side, DHL offers access to a DCPP, RRSP, and TFSA savings plans. Eligible full-time employees also receive Paid Time Off (PTO), paid holidays, and access to an education reimbursement program.
