Job Description:

Are you a skilled forklift professional looking for a challenging and rewarding new role in a dynamic industrial environment? Randstad, a global leader in talent solutions, is currently partnering with a top-tier metal manufacturing client in Edmonton to find a talented Counterbalance Forklift Operator. This position, part of our manufacturing & logistics specialization, offers a unique opportunity to join a tight-knit team with a relentless focus on safety and precision. As a Counterbalance Forklift Operator, you will be a vital link in our client’s supply chain. Your primary mission within the manufacturing & logistics sector will involve handling large-scale metal products, specifically massive steel rolls used to manufacture residential structural beams. You will spend approximately 90% of your shift operating a sit-down propane counterbalance forklift, primarily in the outdoor yard. While the forklifts are enclosed for your comfort, the nature of manufacturing & logistics work requires resilience and the ability to work effectively outdoors in various weather conditions.

Job Responsibility:

  • Safely operate a sit-down propane counterbalance forklift in the outdoor yard
  • Load and unload flatbed trucks with heavy metal products and steel rolls
  • Utilize RF scanners and tablets for data entry and order tracking (SAP/Manhattan)
  • Move materials and finished goods to appropriate storage zones within the yard
  • Conduct daily equipment inspections and report any mechanical concerns immediately
  • Collaborate closely with the shipping team to meet strict delivery deadlines
  • Maintain a clean and hazard-free work environment at all times
  • Perform propane tank changes for the forklift following established safety procedures

Requirements:

  • Valid counterbalance forklift certification (in-house or external)
  • Must possess your own CSA-approved safety boots
  • Availability to work afternoon shifts following the initial training period
  • Previous experience in the manufacturing & logistics sector or industrial warehousing
  • Ability to commute to the site on Roper Rd NW (public transit is limited in this area)
  • Commitment to a 3-month temporary assignment with the potential for extension
What we offer:
  • Competitive pay rate of $22/hour
  • Stable work schedule: 4-day work week (Monday to Thursday), allowing for long weekends
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided: high-vis coveralls, cut-proof gloves, and sleeves
  • Free on-site parking for all employees
  • Access to a breakroom equipped with microwaves, fridges, and free coffee
  • Ongoing forklift training provided immediately upon site arrival
  • Stable work environment with a long-tenured, welcoming team
