As a Senior Yard Team Member, you’ll provide excellent customer service while selecting, preparing and loading material for customers and deliveries. You’ll operate skid steers and loaders, help keep the yard organized and safe, and take ownership of the day-to-day work that keeps the Yard running smoothly.

• Lead or assist with physical inventory counts as required.
• Investigate inventory discrepancies and address damaged, unidentified, misplaced, or incorrectly labelled material.
• Ensure material movements affecting inventory are communicated to the Front Office.
• Proactively flag low stock, unusual usage, or other inventory concerns to the Operations Manager.

• Coordinate equipment maintenance and repair needs with the Millwright.
• Support winter salt operations as required.
• Take initiative in identifying opportunities to improve yard safety, organization, efficiency, and customer service.
