Overnight Associate – Walmart – Owen Sound, ON
Walmart Canada is hiring an Overnight Associate at their Owen Sound, Ontario location — a great opportunity to join one of Canada’s largest retail employers and become a valued part of your local community. If you’re someone who thrives during overnight hours, enjoys hands-on work, and takes pride in keeping store shelves looking their best, this could be just the right fit.
This role sits at the core of Walmart’s overnight operations, where you’ll be part of a close-knit team working together to prepare the store for the next business day. From unloading trailers and pulling pallets to stocking shelves and setting up displays, your contributions directly shape the shopping experience for thousands of customers across Owen Sound.
About the Role: Overnight Associate
As an Overnight Associate, your primary focus is ensuring the smooth flow of merchandise from receiving through to the sales floor. You’ll be unloading trailers, pulling pallets, labelling merchandise, and placing items in backroom bins — all with a strong emphasis on getting the store floor-ready before doors open each morning. This role is distinct from day and evening fulfillment positions due to its heavier focus on backroom stocking and labelling.
Working as part of a strategic overnight team, you’ll also be expected to uphold Walmart’s commitment to a safe, clean, and hazard-free work environment. This includes following company policies and procedures, completing safety sweep logs, and making sure all displays and fixtures are secure before the store opens.
Benefits and Salary
Walmart Canada offers a starting wage of $17.75 per hour for this position, with the rate of pay determined based on relevant experience. Associates also enjoy access to a strong benefits package that includes comprehensive health benefits, life insurance, paid time off, a store discount, stock options, deferred profit sharing, and access to the EQ Health and Live Better U programs. Please note that some benefits may be contingent on employment status and hours worked.
