About The Position
Are you a master organizer with an eye for detail and a knack for keeping things moving? Pratt Paper, a leader in the sustainable recycling and packaging industry, is looking for a highly motivated and precise individual to join our team as a Scale House Operator. In this crucial role, you'll be the nerve center of our Recycling division's inbound and outbound traffic, ensuring the seamless and compliant flow of materials.

If you thrive in a dynamic, 24/7 environment and take pride in your accuracy, this is your chance to contribute to a greener future!

- Communication Power: Excellent verbal and written English language skills are a must for clear driver and team communication.
- A post-secondary degree (Associate's, Bachelor's, or Technical School certification) is preferred, but we value equivalent experience and a proven track record of success in logistics, data entry, or a similar high-volume coordination role.

- Operational Oversight: Utilize our camera systems to monitor dock availability and proactively communicate with the yard to keep the flow of materials constant—as one truck pulls out, you ensure the next is ready to pull in.
- Team Communication: Act as the radio contact point for the Reject Yard and maintain open, clear communication with managers on any operational issues or critical load details.
- Scale House Stewardship: Maintain an organized and fully stocked scale house environment, ensuring you have the tools and resources needed to succeed.
