Warehouse Operator / Reach Truck Operator

Type of position: Full Time

Department: Warehousing

Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN

Receive it right. Store it right. Get it out the door on time.

King Living is a family-owned Australian design company that has been designing and manufacturing its own furniture since 1977. Our showrooms now span Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, the USA and Asia — and our Coquitlam warehouse is the hub of that operation in British Columbia, receiving containerized freight from our global factories and getting product out to customers and showrooms across the region.

What You Will Own

Receiving & Inbound Freight

Unload and receive containerized freight, verify shipments against purchase orders and manifests, and report shortages, discrepancies or damage promptly.

Put-away, Picking & Staging

Put product away in the correct locations within load limits and racking requirements. Pick, pack, label, palletize and stage customer orders on time, checking each against its shipping documentation.

Inventory Accuracy

Record receipts and stock movements accurately in the warehouse management system, process returns, and support cycle counts and inventory investigations.

Equipment Operation

Safely operate reach trucks, forklifts and pallet jacks. Complete pre-use inspections every shift and report defects to the Warehouse Supervisor.

Dispatch & Carrier Coordination

Confirm carriers collect the right product and that loading matches the paperwork, escalating delays or damage straight away.

Safety, Housekeeping & Team

Keep aisles, racking and workstations clean and hazard-free, use the required protective equipment, and report incidents in line with WorkSafeBC requirements. Work closely with Showrooms, drivers and carriers, Customer Experience, Spare Parts and Service Technicians.

Who You Are

• Previous warehouse, shipping and receiving, distribution or material-handling experience
• Reach-truck operating experience required; narrow-aisle and elevated racking experience preferred
• Evidence of forklift training, plus company-approved training meeting CSA and WorkSafeBC requirements. Site-specific competency evaluation is completed before you operate equipment independently
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Experience with warehouse management systems, SAP, RF scanners or computerized inventory systems is an asset
• Basic computer skills, including Microsoft Outlook and Excel
• Strong attention to detail, organization, time management and communication skills
• Able to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
• Able to stand and walk for extended periods, regularly lift, carry, push or pull up to 50 lb, and bend, reach, twist and climb
• Comfortable working around moving equipment, racking and vehicle-loading areas
• Available to work evenings, weekends or holidays when operationally required
