Frankford Warehouse
Attention job-seekers! We are expanding and are looking for a highly motivated, organized, and independent individual to assume the role of Production Officer at our warehouse in Frankford (near Trenton/Belleville), ON.
Job description
This position is anything but the “typical 9 to 5” – and is a great opportunity for someone with a flexible schedule! You need to be multi-talented, able to work under minimal supervision, and very deadline-oriented. This position will start part-time during our busiest season (between Victoria Day and Labour Day), with gigs throughout the remainder of the year as work comes up (New Year’s Eve, Family Day, etc). Hours depend on the time of year, with the most required hours leading up to Canada Day and other long weekends.
You will help Capital remain a leader and innovator in the Canadian entertainment industry. We are seeking someone who truly wants to be an integral member of our company, who takes their responsibilities seriously, and who takes pride in their work.
There may be the opportunity to turn this into a full-time, long-term career further down the road.
Duties include (but are not limited to):
- Preparing fireworks equipment for upcoming shows. Loading, driving, setting up & tearing down equipment onsite.
- Working on fireworks show sites – setting up fireworks shows, handling explosives, shooting fireworks. We will provide and pay for all necessary training and certification with a path to obtaining your Display Fireworks Supervisor license level quickly. You will also be required to work on some weekends – due to the nature of fireworks shows, you will often be required to work until late at night.
- Keeping the fireworks equipment in good working order. Identifying and addressing equipment issues promptly, using skills such as basic carpentry.
- Managing and cleaning the warehouse. Taking regular inventory of equipment and fireworks.
