Warehouse Material Handler

WHO WE ARE…

We are MAKRs – Our common goal, our passion, is to create global communities connected through play and social experiences. We believe the world needs more places where coming together, connecting, and having fun are inevitable.

The MAKR Group is comprised of three working brands dedicated to making the world more livable, playful and socially just - Waterplay, a cheeky global splash pad provider, Parkworks, a North American park space supplier, and Wekid Mfg., Canada’s most playfully professional steel manufacturing team.

With 10’s of thousands of play and park space installations throughout the world, the MAKR Group have helped provide millions of people, from all walks of life, of all ages, and with diverse abilities, with access to amazing, inviting, playable, enjoyable, ‘go-backable’ recreation places. What makes us jump out of bed every morning is knowing we’re integral to create these meaningful places, and we need people like you to help us build them.

WHO YOU ARE…

As a kid, did you love playing Tetris (or are maybe even still setting high scores)? Was your Lego organized and colour-coded? Did you choose carpentry over chemistry for your high school electives? And now, is your kitchen pantry alphabetized and you keep a mental inventory of all your condiments and spices, and rotate perishables by expiry date? If that sounds familiar, you just might have the spatial awareness and attention to detail we're looking for.

We need a true team player: someone who will never utter, "That's not my job." and instead, wonders, "How can I help make this better?"- constantly seeking solutions, efficiencies, and improvements.

You inject fun into all aspects of your work and invite others to do the same. We’re a different kind of company and we’re looking for a different kind of individual to join our team!
