JOBS IN CANADA – Toronto warehouse supervisor role opens at Augusta Fruit Market
JOBS IN CANADA – A new full-time employment opportunity has been announced by Augusta Fruit Market in Toronto, offering a permanent position for a Shipping and Receiving Supervisor. The role comes with an hourly wage of $36.50 and is based at the company’s distribution operations in downtown Toronto (M5T 1M3). The opening is aimed at candidates with prior experience in warehouse logistics and team supervision.
Role Focused on Warehouse Coordination and Team Leadership
The position centers on overseeing daily shipping and receiving activities while ensuring smooth coordination across departments. The selected candidate will be responsible for planning workflow priorities, organizing operational logistics, and maintaining efficiency across warehouse functions. This includes aligning tasks with broader supply chain requirements and ensuring deadlines are consistently met in a fast-moving work environment.
The supervisor will also play a key role in managing a team of approximately 11 to 15 employees. Responsibilities include assigning duties, reviewing performance, and guiding staff to maintain productivity standards. Candidates with strong leadership and organizational skills are expected to perform well in this role.
Key Responsibilities Include Inventory and Operations Management
A major component of the job involves maintaining inventory accuracy and ensuring that materials, equipment, and supplies are properly managed. The supervisor will be expected to monitor stock levels, place orders when necessary, and keep records updated using inventory control software.
In addition, the role requires coordinating maintenance of warehouse equipment and ensuring all systems, including computer-based tools, are functioning efficiently. Applicants should be comfortable using standard office and logistics software such as MS Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, and electronic scheduling systems.
Work Environment Demands Flexibility and Attention to Detail
The job is set in a high-paced warehouse environment where meeting tight deadlines is a routine requirement. Candidates must be able to work under pressure while maintaining accuracy in operations. Physical capability is also important, as the role may involve handling weights of up to 23 kilograms (50 lbs).
Work hours range between 37.5 to 44 hours per week, with shifts that may include mornings, evenings, weekends, and overtime as needed. Flexibility in scheduling is therefore a critical expectation for applicants.
Eligibility Criteria and Required Experience
Applicants should have completed a college or diploma program lasting one to two years, or possess equivalent practical experience. The company is seeking individuals with at least one year and up to two years of relevant experience in a similar field.
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential. The employer is also looking for candidates who demonstrate initiative, sound judgment, reliability, and the ability to work effectively within a team. A criminal record check will be part of the hiring process.
Screening and Application Considerations
Candidates will be asked to confirm their authorization to work in Canada and their willingness to relocate if necessary. Previous experience in warehouse operations or logistics supervision will be an important factor during the selection process.
