About Avron
Since 1994, Avron has been the supplier that childcare centres and schools across Canada count on. Our mission is to support the people who nurture our communities. When a daycare orders lunch for the week or a new set of classroom shelving, it has to arrive on time, and it has to be right.
From our head office and 100,000 square foot warehouse in Concord, Ontario, we stock more than 10,000 products: fresh and frozen food, snacks and pantry staples, classroom furniture, learning materials, art supplies and cleaning products. Our customers place one order with us, and our own truck fleet and delivery partners get it to their door.
Centres tell us the same two things about Avron. The order is right, and the truck is on time. That reputation is earned in our warehouse every night by the people who stage, check and load the pallets before dawn.
We are a proudly Canadian company with teams in Concord, Montreal and Vancouver and more than 30 years in business. We've lasted because we look after our customers and we look after our people.
The role
We have an opening on our night team in Concord. As a Night Shift Loader, you load outbound orders onto our trucks in route sequence, so the morning deliveries roll out on time and in good condition. You'll work across freezer, cooler and dry areas, check product temperatures and packaging, and keep trailers and loading areas clean and food safe.
This is hands-on, physical work. Expect to lift up to 32 kg and to operate motorized and manual material handling equipment through the shift.
What you'll doLoading
- Read the route load sheet,
pull orders from the staging lane and load them onto the trailer in the correct sequence.
- Load and unload product in freezer, cooler and dry environments.
- Shrink wrap pallets and reconfigure boxes and pallets to meet fleet storage requirements.
