MobilEx Terminal Ltd. is a unique port and transload facility located along the Mission River on the lands of Fort William First Nation in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Our operation imports Northwestern Ontario’s highway salt by vessel and transloads it to highway trucks serving depots throughout the Northwest. MobilEx also operates a direct-hit vessel loading facility with a loop track and the ability to convey dry bulk commodities directly from railcar to vessel.
We are looking for an experienced Heavy Equipment Operator to join our Thunder Bay team. This is a hands-on position for someone who takes pride in operating equipment safely, working as part of a team, and helping keep a busy terminal operation running efficiently. For the right person, this role also offers opportunities to develop new skills, take on additional responsibilities and grow into future positions within the organization.
The Opportunity
As a Heavy Equipment Operator, you will work across different areas of the terminal and operate a variety of heavy equipment in support of our vessel loading, material handling and terminal operations.
The role includes operating equipment such as:
- Front-End Loader
- Excavator
- Dozer
- Telehandler
- Ship-loading equipment
- Other equipment as required to support terminal operations
Because our work is driven in part by vessel activity and operational requirements, flexibility is important. Our regular schedule is Monday through Friday, with extended hours required during ship loading and other peak operational periods.

We’re looking for someone who will fit into that environment—someone who is dependable, respectful, willing to lend a hand and comfortable being part of a team that works hard and plays hard.
