WAREHOUSE PERSON | ORDER SELECTOR
NIGHT SHIFT – FULL TIME
As an Industrial Athlete, you will handle an average of 1,500 cases per shift, with each case weighing an average of 30 pounds ‐ but up to 70 pounds. You will also move a lot—walking, standing, stretching, & bending ‐ on average you will walk over 10 kilometres in a single shift. It is very repetitive work, so the ideal person for the job is very self-motivated & likes to continually challenge themselves. The hours appeal to those who are night owls ‐ shifts typically start early in the afternoon & end in the early morning.
As challenging as this job is, it is also very rewarding. The pay is above average, with an opportunity to earn more on each biweekly pay check depending on your ability to work quickly, accurately & safely. There is also plenty of opportunity for advancement ‐ many of our Management & Senior Leaders started in this very same position & have grown their careers with our Fortune 50 Company. Your hard work & dedication can pay off.
