Warehouse Associate / Forklift Operator Company Welcome to B&T MacFarlane, a premier Kubota dealership serving Ottawa and the surrounding area since 1957. We are a family-owned business with a strong, experienced team, and people tend to build careers here. Eleven of our current employees have been with B&T for more than 10 years, with several reaching 15, 20 and 25+ years of service, and our longest-serving employee approaching 38 years with the company! We work hard, we work as a team, and we enjoy having some fun along the way. We hold monthly employee lunches, an annual company golf day, and we take pride in creating a workplace where people know and support each other. At the end of the day, our customers rely on their equipment to get their work done. Our role is to help keep them moving, and help keep Ottawa moving. Position Overview We are looking for a reliable, safety-conscious, hardworking and team-oriented Warehouse Associate / Forklift Operator to join our Yard team. This is a hands-on, physically active position that involves working outdoors throughout the year, operating forklifts, moving equipment, loading and unloading deliveries, and maintaining a safe, organized and presentable dealership yard.

What Success Looks Like in This Role Equipment is moved, loaded and unloaded safely and efficiently. Safety procedures and operating instructions are consistently followed. The yard, storage domes and equipment displays are clean, organized and presentable, reflecting the same standards we maintain in our indoor showroom. Equipment and inventory are handled carefully to prevent damage. Work is completed accurately, with attention to detail. You communicate effectively with your team, follow established processes and respond positively to direction and feedback. When priorities change, you adapt and help the team keep moving. You are dependable, contribute to the team and take pride in a job well done.
