The employer

You’ll join a small-but-mighty team based in a sunlit, shabby-chic warehouse in South Etobicoke. It is a scrappy, hands-on sewing and screen fabrication shop that makes the massive green and blue screens (plus other weird and wonderful things) that help bring movies and shows to life.

The role

The opening is for a production assistant at the warehouse to help keep materials moving, orders accurate, and the space safe and organized. Bonus points if you’ve worked in a warehouse, logistics, set/props, retail stockroom, or other role involving organization and movement of goods.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • enjoy physical, hands-on work and keeping things organized
  • take pride in accuracy when pulling, packing, or inspecting materials
  • have good computer skills and pay attention to detail
  • can lift, carry, and move large fabrics and equipment safely
  • work well as part of a team and can follow established processes
  • can switch gears quickly when priorities shift
  • are dependable and show up ready to go every day

What you’ll do:

  • receive, store, and track incoming and outgoing fabric shipments
  • measure and cut fabrics with high precision and accuracy
  • inspect and clean fabrics and materials
  • pull and prepare orders for rentals and sales
  • pack and label orders so they’re ready to ship
  • complete weekly activity reports
  • keep the warehouse and storage areas clean, safe, and organized
  • maintain inventory of cleaning products, tools, and supplies
  • help with light repairs to fabrics when needed
  • pitch in with other tasks as part of a close-knit team

Wages, hours, and benefits

  • a wage of $17.60–$19 per hour
  • a permanent, full-time role (Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm)
  • dental, extended health care, and a program that gives extra benefits
  • on-the-job training in our processes, materials, and equipment
  • a friendly, collaborative team that values hard work and humour
  • work you can point to and say, “I helped make that happen!”
  • free coffee, decent snacks, and the occasional dance break

Location

  • on-site at the warehouse in South Etobicoke
  • free parking
  • accessible by transit
