Job Description

Are you the kind of forklift operator who knows exactly how LTL freight needs to sit on a trailer? We’re looking for a skilled Cross Dock Operator who thrives on independence to run the floor for a major transportation hub in SE Calgary. We need a pro on the Sit-Down Counterbalance who doesn't need to be micromanaged. You’ll be hustling freight, perfectly balancing trailer weights, and keeping the dock flowing smoothly. In return, we’re offering $22.00 to $23.00 an hour and a steady Monday-to-Friday afternoon shift (2:00 PM to 10:30 PM). Skip the morning traffic, keep your weekends free, and work where your freight skills are actually respected. If you have the valid ticket and the cross-dock hustle, we want you on the team.

Job Responsibility

  • Safely operate a Sit-Down Counterbalance forklift to move LTL freight across the dock
  • Load and unload various types of trailers, ensuring weight distribution is balanced
  • Work independently to prioritize shipments based on departure times
  • Scan and track freight using handheld devices to maintain 100% inventory accuracy
  • Identify and report any damaged goods before they are loaded for transport
  • Maintain a clean and organized dock floor to ensure a safe 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
  • Previous experience with LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight is a major asset
  • Must have CSA-approved steel-toed boots and high-visibility gear
