Job Description
This role supports the manufacturing of industrial packaging solutions by assisting machine operators with material handling and product stacking. You work on the production floor, ensuring machines are consistently supplied with materials and finished products are properly organized. The position involves repetitive tasks and requires you to be comfortable standing and moving throughout the entire shift in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Responsibilities
Support machine operators by bringing materials to feed various production machines and equipment.
Stack, organize, and move finished products from production lines to designated areas in a protected and efficient manner.
Perform general labour tasks, including lifting, carrying, and positioning materials and products, often up to 50 lbs.
Use basic hand and power tools as needed, such as hammers, nail pullers, tape measures, drills, sawzalls, and pneumatic tools.
Assist with production activities that may include machine operation, assembly work, construction-style tasks, and wood working processes.
Follow established safety procedures and guidelines while working around machinery, wood materials, and production equipment.
Maintain a clean and orderly work area, managing wood debris and dust to help keep the facility generally clean and safe.
Communicate clearly in English, both verbally and in writing, to understand instructions, safety information, and production requirements.
Adapt to rotating day and afternoon shifts and be available for overtime at the start or end of scheduled shifts when required.
Work collaboratively with approximately 70 colleagues across both shifts in a unionized manufacturing environment.
