Job Description

Job Description

Step into the role

Picture your shift beginning with a quick inspection of your reach truck and a scan of your WMS task queue. You tidy and organize your zone with daily 5S, then head to the inbound area to put away new stock. As orders flow, you replenish pick locations so selectors never run dry, perform cycle counts to keep inventory accurate, and move between the dock for truck loading and unloading. Throughout the day, you prep pallets to standard work, hit targeted productivity rates, and flag any barriers to your lead or supervisor. When the team gets busy, you also jump in to help with order picking. This role extends beyond driving a lift—it's a hands-on material handling position that thrives on precision, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

What you will do

• Execute a range of material handling tasks: pick location replenishment, inbound stock put away, inventory cycle counting, and truck loading and unloading
• Operate reach forklift equipment in strict alignment with safety policies, including daily lift inspections
• Complete daily 5S housekeeping and organization in assigned warehouse areas
• Perform WMS-assigned inventory moves with accurate quantities and precise locations
• Prepare pallets correctly for put away and replenishment following standard work
• Meet or exceed established productivity rates for each material handling activity
• Communicate obstacles and process barriers promptly to leads or supervisors
• Contribute to the Continuous Improvement Program by joining value stream teams or submitting formal suggestions to enhance Safety, Quality, On Time Delivery, or Cost
• Assist with order picking when needed
• Embrace a broader scope—this position is not limited to forklift operation
