The opportunity

Right now, they are hiring Warehouse Associates to work 40 hours per week in their Brantford-based freezer facility. It’s a chance to be part of the initial setup, receiving and picking products and ramping up the excitement for a new launch. This is a role that reaches across multiple responsibilities and tasks. You will receive product deliveries, take inventory, and prepare items for orders and shipping once their eCommerce and retail stores go live.

If you want to be part of an innovative food tech company where you can grow your career in distribution, supply chain, warehouse logistics and operations, and beyond, this is the role to consider.

What’s in it for you

Operational, culinary, and functional training . You will participate in a one-month paid orientation session covering everything from company culture and brand to the details of multiple positions onsite and two weeks of food-focused training with the corporate head chef.

Stability and flexibility . You will be the newest team member at a financially stable, flourishing brand with a robust US presence, embarking on a new launch in Canada. You will work 40 hours a week during the day in Brantford. That’s evenings and weekends off to spend with family and friends, run those essential errands, or go to school.

Career growth . Starting with the company early on, you will rapidly become a cross-trained subject matter expert. You will expand your skills, work across the functions, and assist with training new hires. You will be optimally positioned to move up when Team Leads are needed, and over into other areas of supply chain and logistics as operations grow.

What you will do:

• Receive and process warehouse orders. You will receive, stock, prepare, pick and complete orders according to written instructions on packing sheets or electronic orders on the computer.
• Contribute to our quality standards. You will ensure consistent and quality work by following organizational procedures and methods. You will maintain a safe, clean work environment by keeping racks, work areas and freezers clean.
• Collaborate. You will move across functions, receiving training and helping where needed.

What you bring:

• Experience. You are familiar with a warehouse or distribution centre environment, working with food, and comfortable working in a continuously cold space. You are comfortable using basic software. Ideally you bring experience with SAP.
• Stamina. You understand the physical demand of lifting and carrying up to 50lbs at a time repeatedly, working upright, and moving from one area to another throughout your shift.
• Determination. You are committed to delivering superior results and adopting a sense of urgency to make things happen. You are results-focused, punctual, and show initiative and accountability.
• Growth mindset. You are open to new ideas and processes and motivated to take on new challenges. You can learn new things quickly and share your knowledge with your team.
• Humble. You work collaboratively and respectfully as part of a team (even in a freezer). You have flexible and effective communication skills.  You listen and act with thoughtfulness. You respect the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of your team and you prioritize the team over yourself.
• Flexibility. You are available for day shifts from Monday to Friday and are open to slight changes in shifts and responsibilities.
• Passion. You have a love of food.
