Material Shipping & Receiving Coordinator

Hands-on shipping, receiving and inventory-control role within a manufacturing team in Stratford. The Coordinator receives purchased components and production materials, verifies quantity, dimensions, material type and condition against purchase orders and shipping documents, reports shortages or damage, prepares finished goods and outgoing materials for shipment, coordinates carrier pickups and prepares bills of lading and packing slips. The position maintains accurate inventory records, organizes storage areas, supports cycle counts and reconciliation, monitors shortages and looks for improvements to storage and material flow. It also includes forklift operation, loading and unloading trucks, moving material between receiving, storage and production areas, supporting the shop floor and working closely with production, purchasing and project teams to resolve material issues before they affect production.

Minimum two years of shipping and/or receiving experience in fabrication, heavy industry, automotive parts manufacturing or a comparable manufacturing setting. Requires inventory and material-control experience, forklift operating experience, familiarity with purchase orders, packing slips and shipping documentation, basic computer or warehouse-system skills, strong organization and attention to detail, independent prioritization, communication and problem-solving ability, and capacity to perform the physical tasks of an industrial environment safely. Experience handling steel, aluminum or other industrial materials is an asset; valid forklift certification is an asset.

Stratford, Ontario. Day shift. Public posting lists $25–$27 per hour. The page describes the opportunity as full-time and permanent, while its employment details also allow for a permanent placement or temporary-to-permanent arrangement; RBB preserves that distinction rather than forcing one interpretation.
