Work closely with the sales, delivery, receiving, and management teams

Coach employees, address performance concerns,



and help develop a reliable team

What we’re looking for

Previous leadership or supervisory experience

Experience in a lumber yard, building supply business, construction environment, warehouse, or similar operation

Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage changing priorities

What success looks like in this role A successful Yard Supervisor keeps the yard safe, clean, and organized; the team knows what needs to be done; orders are prepared and loaded accurately; and customers leave feeling that they received helpful, efficient service.

Job type: Full-time

Work location: On-site in Belle River, Lakeshore, Ontario

If you are an experienced, hands-on leader who enjoys working with people, equipment, and building materials, we would like to hear from you.
