Role Summary: The Day Shift Receiving/Shipping Foreman works closely with a team of forklift operators to ensure the smooth operation of our receiving/shipping, warehousing, palletizing and production supply operations.

Here’s what working at Lesters also has to offer:

• 40hr work weeks, year-round, on a permanent basis; so if you’re looking for stability, you’ll find it here;
• Monday to Friday shifts: we want you to get your rest on the weekend;              
• access to a collective insurance plan (medical and dental) because we want to keep you healthy;                                                                                                                                                                                
• a pension plan because we want to ensure that when you leave us to take your retirement, you’ll be well provided for;                                                                                                                       
• since you’re a fan of our products, employee rebates;                                                         
• floating holidays for when you need time for yourself;                                                  
• unlike downtown locations, no parking problems. Here, there’s room for everyone;
• and, we are easily accessible by public transport, if that’s your preference.                                                                                                                                                            

If you feel that the following characteristics describe you well, we definitely must talk!

• You like working with humans and are not afraid of robots.
• You have a background in a discipline consistent with the position.
• You’re a good communicator. Everyone says so!
• You have good leadership skills and know how to rally the troops.
• You can work under pressure, when necessary, but you aren’t the type who gets stressed for nothing.
• You are a problem solver.
• You are proficient in MS Office. Can we still work without a computer?
• And if you also have experience in receiving/shipping, then you’re clearly a gem!

These are the tasks that would make up your day in this position:

Manage the team of forklift operators in our receiving/shipping departments to meet the expectations of our internal and external customers;
