Job description

As demand continues to grow for our services, we are looking to add full-time Customs Administrative Assistants with an interest in international trade to our team. With time, experience, and education, this position would ideally start your journey to becoming a fully-licensed Customs Broker.

Because international trade is a 24/7/365 business, this role is on a shift-based schedule, with time assignments which will vary and will include days, afternoons, and at times overnights. This is not a Monday to Friday daytime job, and the shift will also usually include a Saturday and/or Sunday. Shift schedules will be assigned at least a month in advance and employees will always be full-time.

We're located at the US/Canada border crossing (176th Street and 1st Avenue) in South Surrey/White Rock. There's no public transportation to our office so you must have a vehicle to get here.

• Typing speed of 45 WPM or better
• Professional telephone etiquette (previous reception and/or CSR experience is an asset)
• Administrative experience (i.e. filing, scanning, data entry) is beneficial
• Ability to complete physical tasks such as sitting, bending, and crouching
• Strong business math and world geography skills
• Must be able to speak, read, and write English at a professional level
• Must be in Canada and have the right to work at the time of application. Applications from outside Canada will not be considered. PNP/Express Entry will not be considered. Foreign placement agencies need not contact.
• Must possess a vehicle (no public transportation available)

We Offer:

• Starting wage of $21.50 plus shift premiums (depending on hours worked)
• Full-time employment (37.5 hours/week)
• Fully paid Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits for employees and their families after three months
• Education Support
• Free Fitness Centre and instructor
• Growth and Development Opportunities
• Discounted meals at our onsite restaurant
• Free parking
• and more!
