Delivery Specialist (Independent Contractor) - KITCHENER/ WATERLOO

Delivery Specialist (Independent Subcontractor)

Do you have a cargo van or sprinter van? Want to earn extra money? Want to choose your own work hours? If so, come work with TOOLBX!

Company Summary

TOOLBX is building a construction materials marketplace that connects top construction professionals with local retailers and suppliers. Our online platform makes it easy for builders to order and receive the materials they need to finish projects on-time and on-budget. With delivery as fast as two hours, TOOLBX has become a valuable tool for construction professionals that want to build faster, smarter and more efficiently.

Here’s why it matters:

• We see an opportunity for small businesses to play alongside the larger organizations. Our platform brings the big and the small of the supply chain for construction together.
• Over half of the world’s solid waste comes from building and construction. We see an opportunity to drive planned orders and an on-demand supply chain to support buying only when you need it.
• Most construction projects are either over budget or over time because contractors can’t optimize their material spending and are slow to compile invoices.
• The most significant purchase for any individual or family will likely be their home.
• TOOLBX helps make construction projects more efficient. We’re focused on material procurement, and we’re still in the first inning. You could be one of the early people that shape our strategy

We are currently looking for a Delivery Specialist. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter with a strong understanding of the products and materials used in the construction industry.

We connect construction sites with the materials they need within the timeframe they request (usually about 2 hours).

When an order is placed, the delivery specialist will receive an alert through their phone, drive to the correct store, pick up the requested material, load it into their vehicle, and deliver the products to the correct job site.
