Who You Are

You take pride in putting in a hard day's work and value being rewarded for it. You value an organization that is doing good by its people, the planet, and building prosperity. If this sounds like you so far, below are some of the other characteristics of our current Team Members:

  • Reliable & Dependable. You like to see a job well done and will ensure that things are done the “right” way. You show up for all scheduled shifts on time and ready to work.
  • Responsible. You’re a self-starter with the ability to work independently as needed. Can you be trusted to act without needing strict supervision?
  • Ready to Grow. Fresh Prep is a rapidly growing company and there are many opportunities for advancement. Are you looking to learn and grow with us?
  • Open. You are open to constructive feedback, but aren’t afraid to let your opinions be known. You approach the problem at hand from a strategic and empathetic point of view.

What You'll Be Doing

At Fresh Prep, every day may be different! While we are currently in “growth mode”, things are becoming more and more streamlined. This means that your first day may not look like your third or your tenth, but each day you will be doing some of the following:

  • Working in a refrigerated environment, with temperatures between 4–6°C
  • Picking and packing customized meal kits for customers
  • Selecting food items from storage and placing them on sortation racks based on customer orders
  • Helping to organize and pack orders into delivery containers according to driver routes
  • Working in a fast-paced role that requires attention to detail and efficiency
  • Following all food safety guidelines and contributing to keeping the workspace clean and organized

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience in food production, warehousing or other fast-paced environments is an asset, but not required
  • Ability to work quickly and accurately to meet time sensitive deadlines
  • Comfortable working in a refrigerated environment (0–10°C)
  • Able to stand for long periods (up to 8 hours per shift)
  • Physically able to lift up to 30 lbs (13 kg)

What You Can Expect

  • Weekend schedule: Saturdays & Sundays 9:00AM-5:00PM
  • Hourly wage of $18.07
  • 3 month contract with fixed end date

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We’d love to have a chat and see if you could be a great addition to our team!

Fresh Prep is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) and we prohibit discrimination of any kind. We value diversity at our company and at all job levels our goal is to be inclusive and representative of the communities we operate in. We endeavour to recruit, develop and retain the best talent from a diverse candidate pool and truly believe that diversity, equity and inclusion among our team members is vital to our success as a company. We trust that in applying for a role with us you value this as well!
