Description

Simpson Seeds Inc., a family-owned, Moose Jaw-based company, has grown to become the largest privately-owned specialty crop processor and exporter in the province. With four locations and over 35 years of experience in the buying, processing and selling of specialty grains, our growing company now employs over 100 people and exports to over 80 countries.

We are currently accepting applicants who have shipping and forklift experience and are seeking a position in our recently-installed, state-of-the art, automated shipping department. We currently operate Monday to Friday 5x24 but some overtime is available on Saturdays. You must be available for rotating shift work (days, evenings and midnights)  

We are recruiting for 2 Full-time FORKLIFT OPERATORS/SHIPPERS at our Railsite Plant in Moose Jaw.

Working with our Shipping Shift Supervisor, you are responsible for the effective bagging, handling and shipping of grain. On a 3 person shift crew, you would be responsible for operating the Autobagger, driving the forklift or providing general shipping/grain handling support. This can be a physically demanding position and also involves a high level of repetitive tasks.  

QUALIFICATIONS:
Forklift Certification (will be certified in our work environment).
Experience in a shipping/warehouse department.
Ability to work as a team and meet shipping targets.
Grade 12 or equivalency coupled with solid math skills.
Reliable transportation to work is required.
An ability to work in a dusty and noisy work environment.
Positive work ethic and demonstrated reliability and attendance record.
Effective communication skills.

Simpson Seeds offers a full service benefits package after 3 months of employment, a company-matched pension after one year and eligibility in our profit-sharing bonus program.
