    Job description

    We are looking for a Crane Operator who enjoys hands-on fieldwork and does not want to be limited to a single machine.

    In this role, you will be at the heart of our Venier team's yard operations and will actively participate in the full flow of materials. You will operate the crane, as well as other heavy equipment as the day's needs require (loader, forklift, etc.).

    This position is highly versatile, active, and physically demanding. The work also includes manual metal sorting and physical outdoor work, in addition to equipment operation. A large portion of the tasks takes place in the field, on the move, in collaboration with the team.

    What you will be responsible for:

    • Operating the crane and participating in general yard activities;
    • Sorting and identifying metals (testing, magnets, etc.) and assessing non-sellable materials;
    • Receiving, unloading, and routing metals to the appropriate areas;
    • Verifying the quality of materials received and handled;
    • Transporting and organizing non-ferrous material bins on site;
    • Using various equipment (crane, loader, forklift as needed);
    • Loading ferrous products destined for customers;
    • Performing manual tasks related to daily operations (sorting, handling, and organizing materials).

    To join our team:

    • You have experience operating heavy equipment (crane, loader, or equivalent);
    • You are comfortable in a physical and outdoor environment;
    • You have a strong ability to work as part of a team and adapt to changing priorities;
    • You have a well-developed sense of occupational health and safety;
    • You have a proactive, field-oriented attitude;
    • You hold a Class 5 driver's licence (essential asset);
    • You have experience in a scrap yard or in recycling (strong asset).
