Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) Operator -- Reach & Counterbalance

Elective Staffing

Job Description

Job Description

Day-in-the-life: Keep Our Material Flow Moving in Vance, AL 35490

Picture this: your shift starts with a quick walk-around of your forklifts, confirming everything is in top shape. You hop on a reach truck to pull pallets from high bays, then switch to a counterbalance (sit-down) to stage outbound loads. Throughout the day, you partner with teammates, support cycle counts, and keep your aisle spotless—because safety and accuracy are how the whole operation wins.

Role Highlights
  • Operate both reach trucks and sit-down (counterbalance) forklifts to transport, stage, and store product.
  • Load and unload trailers and containers with care and precision, maintaining accuracy and pace.
  • Complete pre-use inspections and promptly report maintenance or safety concerns.
  • Keep work areas clean, orderly, and free of hazards to protect people and product.
  • Coordinate with supervisors and peers to hit daily throughput and production targets.
  • Follow safety procedures and company policies every time you operate equipment.
  • Support inventory activities, including cycle counts and stock checks, as needed.
What You Bring
  • Valid forklift operator certification for both Reach Truck and Sit-Down equipment.
  • Hands-on forklift experience in a warehouse or industrial setting (preferred).
  • Sharp attention to detail and a safety-first mindset.
  • Ability to work independently and contribute as a dependable team player.
  • Clear communication skills and a positive, can-do attitude.
  • Capability to lift and handle heavy materials and perform physical tasks.
  • High school diploma or equivalent (preferred).
Location

Based at our Vance, AL 35490 facility, you’ll join a supportive crew that values safety, teamwork, and reliability.

Machines & Technologies You’ll Use
  • Forklifts (Reach Truck and Sit- Down/Counterbalance)

Ready to help us move what matters? We’d love to hear from you.
