Job Description
Harvest Algoma rescues and redistributes food across the Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma region, running a warehouse, a commercial kitchen, a greenhouse, and a delivery fleet that gets that ood to the partner agencies who need it. We're looking for an Operations Coordinator to keep the physical side of that work running: the building, the equipment, the trucks, and the routes, and to grow the relationships that bring more food in and move it more efficiently.

Employment Type: Full-time, permanent (37.5 hours/week)
Compensation: $24.50 to $31.50 per hour ($47,775 to $61,425 annualized), based on experience
Location: Sault Ste. Marie, ON. This role is on-site, with regular local driving.

Maintenance

• Inspect the warehouse, commercial kitchen, greenhouse, and other facilities on a regular schedule, and build a preventative maintenance plan for the equipment that keeps them running.

• Keep every space meeting local health and safety standards.

Delivery Coordination

• Schedule and route deliveries to partner agencies so food gets where it's going on time.
• Coordinate pickup and transport of locally produced food for market, and look for ways to combine trips.
• Manage the delivery fleet: condition, safety, upkeep.
• Use the Harvest Food Hub App daily to weigh food in and out and register partner agency staff onto the platform.
• Track travel and fuel records, and troubleshoot delivery problems before they become bigger ones.

Logistics & Partnerships

• Build relationships with growers, retailers, and food producers to bring more rescued food into the system.
• Look for partnerships with local and regional transportation companies. Shared loads, backhauls, and freight arrangements that cut our costs.
• Keep an eye on freight spend and bring ideas for savings to the General Manager.
• Represent Harvest Algoma with carriers and transportation partners in the region.

Other

• Support greenhouse work from planting through harvest.
• Talk with partner agencies and local businesses about what Harvest Algoma does.
