Why We’re More Than Trailers
For 45 years, Southland Trailers has been building more than trailers — we’ve been building a company where people come first. Today, we’re one of Canada’s largest trailer manufacturers with 560+ team members and a simple operating philosophy: people first, processes second, products third.
We believe in hard work, open communication, a positive attitude, continuous improvement, and leading with humility and respect. Using LEAN manufacturing and modern technology, we design and build high-quality trailers while constantly finding better ways to work.
At Southland, you’ll find a collaborative, hands-on environment where ideas are welcomed, initiative is valued, and your work makes a real impact.
If you’re driven, curious, and want to grow with a company that’s going places — you’ll fit right in.
The Role
The Janitor is responsible for keeping Southland Trailers clean, organized, stocked, and ready for the people who use our facilities every day.
This role goes beyond completing a cleaning checklist. You will take ownership of the overall condition of our offices, cafeterias, boardrooms, gym spaces, common areas, and washrooms across multiple locations.
You will notice what needs attention, take care of it before it becomes a problem, and ensure cleaning supplies are always available when needed. Your work plays an important part in creating a safe, professional, and welcoming environment for our Team Members and visitors.

Who You Are
You do not walk past something that needs attention.
You take pride in creating clean, organized spaces and understand that small details make a big difference. You are dependable, resourceful, and comfortable managing your work without someone constantly checking in.
Most importantly, you care about doing the job properly and leaving every space better than you found it.
