Labourer

About Us:
Salish Soils is more than a soil company. We’re a movement, restoring balance to the land, regenerating waste, and creating real opportunities for our community. Founded by shíshálh entrepreneur Aaron Joe, we’re an Indigenous-owned business rooted in circular economy practices and Indigenous values.
We’re looking for a Labourer to support yard operations with sorting, bagging, composting, and cleanup—keeping our site safe, organized, and running smoothly every day.

About the Role:
This is a hands-on, outdoor role for someone who takes pride in physical work, cares about safety, and wants to be part of a team that’s making a real environmental impact. You’ll work closely with loader operators and supervisors to keep materials moving, recycling on track, and the yard in top shape.
No prior experience is required—just reliability, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn.

What You’ll Do:

• Sort through mixed C&D (construction & demolition) loads, separating materials into proper commodities
• Work with loader operators to move sorted materials to the right areas
• Operate the bagging machine to package compost, soil, and mulch
• Assist with composting operations and general yard tasks
• Keep the yard clean, safe, and organized
• Follow all safety policies and wear required PPE (steel-toe boots, hi-vis vest, safety glasses)
• Participate in safety meetings and contribute to a safe, respectful workplace
• Support our scale operations, greeting customers, weighing and accurately entering all customer, vehicle, and load details into the scale software.
• Verifying material types crossing the scale, and assigning correct pricing categories.
• Various other duties as needed

You Might Be a Good Fit If You…:

• Are reliable, punctual, and ready to work as part of a team
• Can work outdoors in all weather and lift up to 50 lbs
• Have a positive attitude and openness to learning new skills
• Take safety seriously and follow procedures without cutting corners
• Care about sustainability, Indigenous leadership, and community impact

Compensation:

• $25–$28 hourly wage (based on experience and qualifications)
• Paid vacation and personal days off
• Extended Benefits including health, dental, critical illness, and life insurance
• Staff discounts and access to soil, compost, and produce
• Opportunities for growth as the site expands

Our Core Values:
At Salish Soils, how we work matters just as much as what we sell.

• We keep everyone safe: We protect ourselves and each other so everyone goes home safe.
• We bring good vibes: We show up with positive energy and communicate respectfully.
• We collaborate with heart: We lead with empathy and solve challenges together.
• We serve with excellence: We deliver great products with grit, commitment, and care.
