About the role
Start Your Career in Operations & Leadership!
Looking for an entry-level leadership opportunity where you can build valuable skills, earn performance-based income, and grow your career?
We’re hiring an Operations Lead & Labourer to join our fast-paced team. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has experience leading a team but is ready to take the next step into operations, sales, customer service, and people leadership.
Requirements
You do not need previous junk removal or operations management experience. If you’ve been a Team Lead, Shift Lead, Supervisor, Assistant Manager, or similar leader in retail, landscaping, food service, hospitality, or another fast-paced environment, your experience can translate extremely well to this role.
You’ll lead from the front—working alongside your team in the field while developing skills in route management, sales, customer service, coaching, and business operations.

•
Lead daily routes and help ensure jobs are completed safely, efficiently, and on schedule
•
Work alongside your team to safely lift, load, and remove unwanted items

Provide on-site estimates and confidently close sales
•
Deliver an exceptional customer experience from arrival through job completion
•
Serve as the first point of contact for team questions and real-time problem-solving in the field
•
Train, coach, and support team members
•
Monitor daily performance and help the team achieve revenue and productivity targets
•
Communicate priorities and adapt quickly as schedules, customers, and job requirements change
•
Balance hands-on physical work with leadership, customer service, sales, and operational responsibilities
What We’re Looking For:
•
1–2+ years of leadership, supervisory, sales, customer service, or operations experience
•
Previous experience as a Team Lead, Shift Lead, Supervisor, Assistant Manager, or similar role is highly valued
•
Experience in retail, landscaping, food service, hospitality, construction, delivery, or other fast-paced environments is an asset
•
Ability to multitask and effectively handle competing priorities while maintaining a positive customer and team experience
•
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
•
A results-driven, team-oriented mindset
•
Ability to lead by example and stay productive in a physically demanding environment
•
Ability to consistently lift 50+ lbs
•
Valid Class 5 driver’s licence and clean 3-year driving record
•
Must be 19+
Why This Is a Great Entry-Level Management Opportunity:
This role is designed for someone who is ready to grow beyond a traditional frontline position.
You’ll gain hands-on experience in:
•
Team leadership and coaching
•
Sales and estimating
•
Customer service
•
Route and operations management
•
Performance management
•
Revenue and productivity tracking
•
Real-time decision-making and problem-solving
As you develop your skills and demonstrate strong performance, there are opportunities to take on greater responsibility and advance within the company.
If you’re motivated, enjoy working with people, and want to turn your previous team-lead or supervisory experience into a career in operations and management, this could be the opportunity for you.
