• Help keep loading, receiving, storage, and customer areas clean and organized
• Operate equipment such as forklifts or skid steers if trained and qualified
• Jump in where needed during our busy seasons

What We’re Looking For

A strong candidate will be:

• Dependable and punctual
• A self-starter who notices what needs to be done
• Comfortable working independently
• Able to take direction and follow through on tasks
• Friendly and comfortable interacting with customers

Experience with plants is  not required . We’re more interested in finding someone dependable, motivated, and willing to learn.

Schedule

We have  two part-time positions available , with the possibility of a  full-time role for the right candidate . Some weekend availability is a plus, particularly during our busy spring and fall seasons.
