Our steel tube manufacturing facility in Bolton, Ontario is currently seeking an experienced, safety-first, and highly motivated Shipper / Receiver to join our team.
This is not a standard box-moving warehouse role. We specialize in heavy-industrial steel manufacturing, meaning our materials are large, heavy, and require specialized handling. We are looking for a reliable professional with a strong work ethic, a great attitude, and clear, effective English communication skills.
Newcomers to Canada, including individuals arriving via emergency work pathways (such as Ukrainian nationals with valid Canadian work authorization), are welcome and highly encouraged to apply!
Key Responsibilities:
- Heavy Forklift Operation: Safely operate propane counterbalance forklifts (3.5-ton single wheel and 2.5-ton dual wheel configurations) to move and lift oversized 24-foot steel tube bundles.
- Flatbed Loading & Stacking: Expertly pick, transport, and stack 24-foot bundles head-on onto flatbed truck trailers, ensuring perfectly balanced loads.
- Overhead Crane Operation: Safely operate overhead industrial cranes to unload heavy steel coils and move manufacturing raw materials around the plant.
- Yard Management & Logistics: Efficiently organize, arrange, and re-arrange the outdoor inventory yard to optimize space, maintain order, and support production workflows.
- Order Preparation: Open existing steel bundles and re-bundle materials manually or mechanically according to custom customer requirements and shipping specifications.
- Shipping Documentation: Assist with checking incoming receipts against bills of lading, inspecting materials for quality, and ensuring accurate dispatch paperwork.
Qualifications & Requirements:
- Experience: Minimum 2-3 years of experience as a Shipper/Receiver working explicitly in a heavy manufacturing, steel, lumber, or industrial yard environment handling long, oversized loads.
- Equipment Competency: Robust experience operating front-loading propane counterbalance forklifts.
- Crane Skills: Proven hands-on experience operating overhead cranes for heavy lifting (experience with steel coils is a major asset).
- Communication: Well-spoken English with a highly positive, collaborative attitude.
- Physical Demands: Must be physically fit, comfortable working outdoors in varying Canadian weather conditions (for yard reorganization), and capable of heavy lifting when re-bundling.
- Safety Mindset: A pristine safety track record with clear spatial awareness regarding tail-swing, weight distribution, and load center calculations.
