Job description

Are you an experienced Shipper Receiver looking for a long-term opportunity in Kitchener? Do you excel in a fast-paced environment and possess a keen eye for inventory control? Our client, a leader in the design and production of specialized mobile shredding equipment, is seeking a dedicated Shipper Receiver to join their growing team. This is a critical role within their manufacturing and logistics department, ensuring that parts and equipment move efficiently through the facility to meet production goals.

As a Shipper Receiver, you will be the backbone of the warehouse operations. This position is perfect for someone who enjoys a "hands-on" role, as the majority of your day will be spent operating a counterbalance forklift to manage incoming and outgoing shipments. Because our client specializes in high-quality mobile equipment, the Shipper Receiver must be comfortable navigating a tighter space environment where precision and safety are paramount. Accuracy is key in this role; you will act as an Inventory Specialist, utilizing your strong computer skills and attention to detail to ensure every nut, bolt, and piece of machinery is accounted for.

This specific Shipper Receiver role offers a unique "straight day shift" schedule that prioritizes your work-life balance. Imagine finishing your work week at 1:00 PM every Friday! This schedule is designed for those who value their personal time while still being fully committed to a high-standard professional environment.

Advantages

• Competitive pay rate of $22.00 per hour
• Highly desirable straight day shift: Monday to Thursday (7:00 AM - 5:00 PM).
• Early weekend start: Fridays from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
• Potential for long-term, permanent employment with a stable industry leader.
• Opportunity to work in a specialized field within manufacturing and logistics.
• Comprehensive support from Randstad's expert recruiters throughout your placement.
• A professional and safety-oriented work culture.

Responsibilities

• Operate a counterbalance forklift safely to load and unload flatbeds and shipping containers.
• Manage all aspects of the shipping and receiving process, including verifying packing slips and inspecting goods for damage.
• Act as the primary Inventory Specialist by performing regular cycle counts and updating the digital inventory management system.
• Organize and maintain the warehouse layout to maximize efficiency in a tight-space environment.
• Prepare shipping documentation and coordinate with carriers for outgoing freight.
• Support the manufacturing and logistics team by ensuring parts are delivered to the production floor on time.
• Maintain a clean and safe work environment in compliance with provincial health and safety standards.
• Utilize computer software to track shipments, print labels, and manage warehouse data entry.

Qualifications

• 1 to 2 years of consistent experience as a Shipper Receiver.
• Demonstrated experience with counterbalance forklift operation (current license not required, but competency is essential).
• Proficiency in basic office software and digital inventory tracking.
• Ability to commute to the Kitchener facility reliably for a 7:00 AM start.
• Must be comfortable working in a tighter, high-density warehouse environment.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• A commitment to accuracy and a "quality-first" mindset in manufacturing and logistics.
