About the role
What makes us so great?
We’re a private, Canadian-owned company employing over 3600 Team Members. We’re known for providing our customers with the most unique assortment of products, unrivaled customer service and exceptional value – for nearly 100 years.
We forge relationships that last – this is one of the things we enjoy most about our jobs. We call our employees “Team Members” and our managers “Leaders”. We are resourceful and authentic. We build trust by staying true to our word and providing Royal Service every chance we get.
You won’t find our unique combination of products and people anywhere else.
Our Home Office matches our personality - welcoming, a little quirky and full of energy. With access to free parking, an on-site gym & salon, bottomless coffee at the grill, and a games facility – work feels a little bit more like home.
So what’s this role all about?

A few other things we’re looking for:

- Familiarity with several transportation modes, including rail, road and ocean logistic processes
- Experience in Domestic and International freight movement and related documentation procedures an asset
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to present at all levels of the organization and with outside service providers

- Ability to stay focused and organized, and to regulate own work and responsibilities
- Self-directed to meet planned objectives
- Highly analytical, with the ability to present solutions and assist in implementation when required
What’s in it for you?
We’ll offer you a competitive salary and top-notch company paid benefits.
