Job Description

Why Join Us?

At Provisions, we're a small team doing big things. An established Canadian company built on hustle, heart, and premium taste. We're based in Niagara wine country, working out of a charming historic building that reflects both our roots and our quality products. We're growing quickly and building something we're proud of; together. Around here, we value role ownership, momentum, and working with people who support one another and show up ready to contribute (snacks always welcome). You won't be a number, you'll be part of a close-knit, collaborative team where your work is truly appreciated.

Meet couriers (Canpar, UPS, FedEx, etc.) at the loading dock to hand off outgoing shipments. Receive incoming deliveries at the dock (e.g., glass, raw materials, supplies). Complete finished inventory monthly + update the Order Log accordingly. Plan and carry out scheduled delivery and pickup routes across the GTA. Support in production as required.
