Job Description
Harvest Algoma rescues and redistributes food across the Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma region, running a warehouse, a commercial kitchen, a greenhouse, and a delivery fleet that gets that ood to the partner agencies who need it. We're looking for an Operations Coordinator to keep the physical side of that work running: the building, the equipment, the trucks, and the routes, and to grow the relationships that bring more food in and move it more efficiently.

Inspect the warehouse, commercial kitchen, greenhouse, and other facilities on a regular schedule, and build a preventative maintenance plan for the equipment that keeps them running.

Track travel and fuel records, and troubleshoot delivery problems before they become bigger ones.

Logistics & Partnerships

Build relationships with growers, retailers, and food producers to bring more rescued food into the system.

Look for partnerships with local and regional transportation companies. Shared loads, backhauls, and freight arrangements that cut our costs.

Keep an eye on freight spend and bring ideas for savings to the General Manager.
