Warehouse Material Handler
About The Position
We are MAKRs – Our common goal, our passion, is to create global communities connected through play and social experiences. The MAKR Group is comprised of three brands: Waterplay, a global splash pad provider; Parkworks, a Western Canadian park space supplier; and Wekid Mfg., Canada’s most playfully professional steel manufacturing team. With tens of thousands of play and park space installations worldwide, we’ve helped millions of people of all ages and abilities access fun, inviting, and “go-backable” recreation spaces. What makes us jump out of bed every morning is knowing we’re integral to creating these meaningful places, and we need people like you to help us build them! If you grew up loving Tetris, organizing Lego by colour, choosing hands-on projects, and now keep your pantry impeccably ordered, you might have the spatial sense and attention to detail we need. We’re looking for a true team player - someone who never says, “That’s not my job,” but instead asks, “How can I make this better?”. You inject fun into all aspects of your work and invite others to do the same. We’re a different kind of company, and we’re looking for a different kind of individual to join our team! Our team is growing and we’re looking for a Warehouse Material Handler with better-than-good technical aptitude and planning skills, experience in manufacturing and fabrication environments, and finesse in analytical and problem-solving abilities.
