About this role
Ottawa Valley Hardwood Flooring runs a hardwood flooring warehouse in Altona, MB, supplying boards, trim and finishing products to contractors and homeowners across southern Manitoba. We are adding order pickers to the warehouse floor to pull customer orders accurately and get them loaded for delivery.
The day starts with a pick list and a handheld scanner. You walk the aisles, pull the right lengths and grades of flooring and accessories, check quantities against the sheet, and stage finished orders at the loading bay. You help load trucks, keep aisles clear and tidy, and flag damaged stock to the supervisor. Training is on the job, so no warehouse background is needed.

- Housekeeping. Keep aisles clear, stack stock neatly and report damaged or short product to the supervisor.
