We take pride in producing true Canadian-made products, supporting local jobs, and maintaining hands-on ownership involvement in the business.

From documented procedures and quality controls to ERP integration through Odoo, our systems are designed to support scale, consistency, and continuous improvement. These foundations give us significant room to grow — and we are now poised for the next phase of expansion. We believe great companies are built by great people. As we grow, we are focused on surrounding ourselves with high-caliber team members who care about their work, take ownership, and want to help build something lasting. We value accountability, responsiveness, respect, and collaboration, and we believe strong leadership and clear processes allow people to do their best work. Joining Progressive Industrial Fluids means joining a team building for the long term, where contributions matter, improvements are encouraged, and success is shared. The Role The Transport Operator is responsible for safely, compliantly, accurately, and professionally transporting Progressive Industrial Fluids products between our facility, customer locations, and other designated sites. This is more than a driving position. The Transport Operator plays an key role in Progressive’s logistics, operations, and customer-service functions. You are responsible for ensuring the right products arrive at the right location, in good condition, and on time, while maintaining the documentation, vehicle condition, and regulatory compliance required for safe commercial transportation. You will regularly handle industrial fluids and related materials in drums, totes, pails, and other containers. This requires careful attention to load securement, Transportation of Dangerous Goods requirements (where applicable), safe material handling, vehicle inspections, and site-specific customer requirements. You are expected to understand what you are carrying, ensure the load is properly prepared for transport, and identify concerns before they become safety, compliance, or customer-service issues. Because Transport Operators are often one of the most visible Progressive representatives at a customer’s facility, professionalism matters. You are expected to communicate respectfully with customers, follow site requirements, handle delivery paperwork accurately, and communicate any delivery issues or customer concerns to the appropriate Progressive team member. The position also works closely with our Logistics, Warehouse, Production and Customer Service teams. When not on the road, you may assist with loading, unloading, staging, material movement, vehicle preparation and other logistics or warehouse activities required to keep orders moving efficiently. Success in this position comes from reliability and consistency. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their vehicle, their load, their paperwork and their schedule; who does not take shortcuts with safety; and who communicates early when something does not look right.
