8. Read and interpret labels, files, and product information to ensure proper pallets and product are organized accordingly.

What you will need:

1. Completed or completing a Secondary School Diploma or GED Equivalent is considered an asset.
2. Experience operating an electric-powered pallet jack would be considered an asset.
3. Warehouse or general labour experience is preferred.
4. Able to lift and carry up to 60lbs, repeatedly with accuracy in a timed environment.
5. Comfortable working in a temperature-controlled environment (+22 to -28 Degrees in some locations).
6. Flexible straight 8-hour shifts available (day, afternoon and night).

Join a team committed to helping you grow your career and one that provides new opportunities. We offer a competitive compensation package with bonus incentives and an inclusive workplace that thrives on our core values of Care, Ownership, Respect and Excellence.

Our commitment to Sustainability and Social Impact is an essential part of the way we do business, and we focus our attention on areas where we can have the greatest impact. Our approach to sustainability and social impact is based on three pillars – Environment, Sourcing and Community – and we are constantly looking for ways to demonstrate leadership in these important areas.
