Job Description

Randstad is hiring a Sit-Down Counterbalance pro to run the cross-dock floor for a major transportation hub in SE Calgary. We need a seasoned freight hustler who doesn't need to be micromanaged. You will safely move freight, perfectly balance trailer weights, and keep the supply chain flowing. Forget standard pallet-pushing—this is a dynamic, fast-paced role where your specialized transportation skills are actually respected.

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free dock floor to ensure maximum safety and a smooth transition for the morning crew

Requirements

  • Valid Forklift Ticket/Certification (Required)
  • Must be available for afternoon training before moving to the regular night shift
  • 1–2 years of experience operating a Sit-Down Counterbalance forklift
