Job description

The Maritime Employers Association (MEA) is looking for occasional longshoremen at the Port of Hamilton. Each employee must provide their availability for work, on site at the Hiring Hall during each of the hiring periods daily (0800h, 1300h and 1800h). This practice follows a first-come-first-serve basis of priority sequence labor dispatch. The Hiring Hall is located at 651 Burlington Street E., Hamilton, Ontario.
It is important to understand the industry fluctuations and seasonal demand for labour at the Port. In other words, shifts will be extremely casual to start and will require you to be available for continuous work during these peak periods (typically August until January is the high peak)

Occasional Longshoremen Base Hourly Rate: $23.93/hour

Those who are most qualified and who have a strong attendance record, may have the opportunity to move into the higher employee group, and thus receive an increase to a new base rate of $30.29 per hour. There are a variety of premiums offered and available to those pool members such as evenings, weekends and holiday premiums applied to your hourly base pay rate.

A Pool Longshoremen Base Hourly Rate: $30.29/hour

After further considerations, this role may eventually lead to regular unionized employment, at which time you would be entitled to receive a full range of benefits (i.e. pension, medical benefits, RSP contribution).

Tasks:

  • Work on Port Terminals and vessels to charge and discharge cargo
  • Secure and handle cargo
  • Trim and shovel cargo (grain, salt, and sugar) in vessel hold(s)

Mandatory requirements

  • Valid driver's license (or in process of obtaining license)
  • Availability days, evenings, and weekends

Desired Assets

  • Experience on forklifts (asset)
  • Experience operating heavy machinery (asset)
  • Interest working outdoors
  • Availability and interest working various shift times; including days, evenings, and nights throughout the week and weekend
  • Be in above average physical shape

The benefits of a career with the Maritime Employers Association

  • In-house paid training and development programs will prepare and equip you throughout your career as a longshoreman
  • Working outdoors for the majority of the time
  • Job rotation and daily task variety
  • Competitive starting salary of $23.93/hour with the possibility of overtime, weekend and evening premiums including holidays
  • May have the opportunity to advance to a more prioritized pool, with a base salary of $30.29/hour.
  • Career opportunity to achieve more regular employment within the Reserve pools

INCLUSIVENESS, DIVERSITY, EQUITY

We are confident that workplaces are enriched by the diversity of employee profiles.

As an employer, we adhere to the principle of employment equity.

The Maritime Employers Association wishes to better represent the community in which it operates and invites candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply for various job opportunities.

Why self-identify as a member of an underrepresented group?

Self-identification is a simple step in the hiring process that allows you to self-identify as a member of one of the following groups: visible minorities, women, people with disabilities and Aboriginal peoples.

The confidential information collected informs diversity and employment decisions. Together, we will make workplaces more representative and inclusive.
