$22/hour
As a Counterbalance Forklift Operator, you will be a vital link in our client’s supply chain.

Responsibilities
• Safely operate a sit-down propane counterbalance forklift in the outdoor yard.
• Load and unload flatbed trucks with heavy metal products and steel rolls.
• Utilize RF scanners and tablets for data entry and order tracking (SAP/Manhattan).
• Move materials and finished goods to appropriate storage zones within the yard.
• Conduct daily equipment inspections and report any mechanical concerns immediately.
• Collaborate closely with the shipping team to meet strict delivery deadlines.
• Maintain a clean and hazard-free work environment at all times.
• Perform propane tank changes for the forklift following established safety procedures.
Qualifications
• Valid counterbalance forklift certification (in-house or external).
• Must possess your own CSA-approved safety boots.
• Availability to work afternoon shifts following the initial training period.
• Previous experience in the manufacturing & logistics sector or industrial warehousing.
• Ability to commute to the site on Roper Rd NW (public transit is limited in this area).
• Commitment to a 3-month temporary assignment with the potential for extension.
