ONESource Moving Solutions Oakville
About the Role
At ONESource Moving Solutions, we are committed to providing seamless and stress-free moving experiences for our clients. With a focus on exceptional customer service, efficient operations, and thoughtful coordination, we aim to redefine the standards of the move management industry. Simply put—we take the stress out of changing your address.
What You'll Do
The Move Assistant works closely with OSMS clients, moving teams, retirement residences, and other service providers to ensure a smooth, organized, and safe moving experience. This role requires physical endurance, strong interpersonal skills, and a passion for delivering exceptional customer service.
Who This Role Fits
You are reliable and punctual, careful with other people’s belongings, patient with older adults and families, a good listener, comfortable with steady physical work, and willing to learn as part of a small team. You will be handling personal, fragile, sentimental, or valuable belongings, so care and discretion are essential. Experience in hospitality, caregiving, healthcare, retail, customer service, organizing, staging, trades, cleaning, or other hands-on service work is a real asset. Strength is not the primary qualifier. Care, reliability, good judgment, and a steady pace matter more.
Physical Demands
This is an active role. You should expect to:
Lift items up to approximately 50 lbs unassisted; heavier items are handled as team lifts
Lift, carry, bend, and reach repeatedly throughout the shift
Stand and move for most of the shift
Work in homes, condos, retirement residences, and storage spaces (stairs, narrow hallways, multi-floor environments)
What You Need to Start
Eligibility to work in Canada
A smartphone for shift communication and time tracking
A successful Vulnerable Sector Check from your local police service. We provide instructions.
Black running-style shoes suitable for active indoor work; safety-toe versions recommended but not required
Black work pants suitable for active work. Leggings are not appropriate for this role.
Reliable transportation to our depot or to assigned client locations across the service area
We provide seasonally appropriate branded ONESource work shirts and a 10% discount at Mark’s for required gear.
Hours, Travel, and Pay
Hours vary with client demand, generally 15 to 35 per week. This is a true part-time role, and applicants should be comfortable with some week-to-week variation as the business grows. For each shift you will be told whether to report to the depot or directly to a client location. Paid time begins at your reporting location, and travel between job sites during a shift is paid.
Move Assistants start at $20 per hour. Strong performers can also grow into Team Leader roles (higher rate, full G driver's licence required).
Tips, when provided by clients, are shared among the team members who worked on that job. Vacation pay is provided according to Ontario employment standards, and all employees are covered by WSIB.
Our Workplace
ONESource Moving Solutions Oakville welcomes applications from people of all genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds. Every team member is expected to treat clients, families, coworkers, and service partners with respect.
We review applications on a rolling basis and are hiring immediately for up to 2 Move Assistant positions.
