Job description

We are hellbent on doing great work and living a great life while we’re at it.

Reliable jobs with good pay, building real skills and still having gas in the tank to get after it when the workday is done. That’s Kicking Horse Coffee. Whether that’s lakes, trails, powder days, or just soaking up Columbia Valley life with your family, we want you finishing your shift with energy left for the good stuff!

YOU’LL LIKE IT HERE IF …

You want a stable job that fuels your big-mountain, small-town lifestyle.

You’re reliable, hands-on and take pride in doing things right.

You want to work somewhere people, not just output, matter.

You want to grow. At Kicking Horse Coffee, the more you learn, the more you earn.

You’ve got your crew’s back. You show up daily with respect and care for others.

You care about making an impact. Every single coffee bean is Fairtrade and organic, positively impacting farmers around the world.

You take safety seriously. Looking out for each other is just how it’s done.

Bottom line: work hard, live well, be a good kick in the ass for the world.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Keep the coffee moving – in, out, and exactly where it needs to be. You’ll be hands-on in a fast-moving warehouse environment, picking, packing, loading, and receiving with speed and accuracy. Priorities shift, trucks run late, things change. You roll with it, keep things organized, and make sure every shipment is done right and on time.

• Pick, pack, label and ship orders accurately and efficiently.

• Receive deliveries, inspect goods, and match shipments to paperwork.
• Move products and materials throughout the facility (forklift included).

• Work closely with your team to stay aligned to shipping schedules and priorities.
• Keep the warehouse clean, organized and running smoothly.
• Jump in where needed adapting to delays, changes, and shifting needs.
• Support inventory counts, product put-away, and internal order builds (Café, DTC).
• Follow safety and quality program practices.
• Contribute ideas and collaborate with the team to keep improving how we work.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Physical ability to lift up to 25-75 lbs (with help from the team), lifting, pushing, twisting and bending in a warehousing environment, up to 8 hours per shift.
• Basic computer skills and data entry experience is required. Experience using Microsoft Excel is an asset. Open to learning and developing new skills is a must!
• Possess a good understanding of workplace safety and willingness to learn and follow policies, procedures, and standard work instructions.
• Previous work experience in a manufacturing or warehouse setting is considered an asset.
• Forklift operator certificate is required (training provided if you don’t have one already); experience operating heavy equipment an asset.
• A valid driver’s license is required.
• Legally entitled to work in Canada.

THE DETAILS

• This is an on-site position located in Invermere, BC.
• This is a full-time, permanent position in our Warehouse team, working an average of 40 hours per week with a paid half hour lunch on 8-hour shifts. We will also consider candidates looking for part-time work – don’t let this stop you from applying!
• The hourly rate for this role is $24.34. Additional wage premiums are available based on skills, shifts, and added responsibilities (e.g., training, shift lead, multi-area work).
• Shifts can start as early as 5 AM and run as late as 8 PM, Sunday to Saturday.

WHY THIS PLACE IS DIFFERENT

As Canada’s #1 selling whole bean coffee, demand for our organic, Fairtrade beans keeps climbing from coast to coast. That means one thing: we need more awesome humans on our team. We’re gearing up to grow big while staying true to what got us here.

We’ve been making kick-ass coffee for 30 years. We roast every bean in the Rocky Mountains, smack dab in the middle of nowhere. It’s where we’ve built something pretty special.

We don’t cut corners. We don’t do average. And we definitely don’t do half-assed. From how we source our beans to how we treat our people, we’re all in.

WHAT WE VALUE

• Do What’s Right. It’s not always neat and tidy. It means taking care of people, the planet and the business. No posturing, no greenwashing, just grown-up conversations and real accountability.
• Never Half-Ass It. We’re on a mission to annihilate mediocrity. It’s about craftsmanship, care, and commitment. It’s about creating something we’re proud of, every time.
• Cut the Bullshit. It’s about systems that work without waste, kindness without drama and root-cause thinking over quick fixes. When we cut through noise, we make space for what matters: trust, clarity, and meaningful progress.
• Be Remarkable. Every now and then, we crank the dial past ten. We’re not here to play it safe or follow the crowd. We’re here to break patterns, defy expectations, and drop a few jaws along the way. If it’s forgettable, it’s not for us.
• Do It All With Love. Love? Buck yeah, Love! It’s our not-so-secret ingredient. We care deeply about the work we do, the people we work with, and the impact we have. That love shows up in every cup.

Postings remain open for two-week cycles, closing September 2, 2026.

SPIRIT OF LOVE

Love means welcoming everyone to ensure an inclusive place for all. We seek team members from all walks of life, backgrounds, and cultures.
