Forklift Operator – Lumber Warehouse
Love working outdoors, staying active, and keeping things moving? Warman Home Centre is looking for a reliable, safety-minded Forklift Operator to join our crew! You'll take the wheel of all-terrain forklifts to move, load, and unload products safely and efficiently. This is a hands-on, high-energy role where you'll be on your feet for much of the day and regularly lifting 25-80 lbs.
Safety is always our top priority. This is a safety-sensitive position, so the successful candidate must follow our drug-free workplace policy. Drug testing may be required in certain situations under our health and safety policies.
