Pay: Competitive + Shift Differential + Sign-On Bonus

Schedule: 2-2-3 rotation (6:00 PM – 6:00 AM)

Pay: $20-25/hour

Location: Indoor warehouse environment

Why This Job Stands Out

• Sign-on bonus paid out in your first year

• Pay increases once hired on (with raises during contract)

• Consistent schedule with built-in long weekends

• Overtime potential + night shift premium

• Stable, long-term opportunity with room to grow

What You’ll Be Doing

• Operate forklifts and clamp trucks to move and store finished product

• Place pallets accurately in assigned bay locations

• Use RF scanners to track and update inventory

• Verify product coming off the line meets quality standards

• Keep your work area clean, safe, and organized

• Step in to support teammates when needed (breaks, coverage, etc.)

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of recent forklift experience

• Clamp truck experience strongly preferred

• Comfortable using RF scanners or warehouse systems

• Able to lift up to 50 lbs and stay active throughout the shift

• Reliable and safety-focused

Work Environment

• Indoor warehouse with active production and shipping areas

• 12-hour shifts — more days off built into your schedule

• Steel-toe boots required (reimbursement after hire-on)

Who This is a Good Fit For

• Experienced forklift or clamp truck operators looking for steady hours + higher earning potential

• People who prefer fewer workdays with longer shifts

• Candidates who want a long-term role, not just a short-term job
