Forklift Operator/Material Handler

$24 per hour
Looking for an operational role where tech literacy and warehouse expertise are valued just as much as driving skills? A premier logistics facility is seeking dependable, detail-oriented operators to join a high-compliance, fast-paced team. This position is ideal for experienced forklift professionals who understand the "big picture" of supply chain logistics and excel in a structured environment.

What the Day Looks Like
  • Precision Driving: Safely operate forklifts and electric pallet jacks to move, stack, and stage heavy materials.

  • Tech-Driven Logistics: Utilize handheld RF scanners to track inventory, order fulfillment, and maintain high levels of data accuracy.

  • Systems & Auditing: Navigate internal warehouse software (such as SAP or similar systems) to log stock movements, perform cycle counts, and reconcile inventory.

  • Freight Execution: Efficiently receive, break down, sort, and audit inbound and outbound shipments.

  • Safety & Compliance: Conduct daily pre-trip equipment inspections adhering to strict OSHA regulations to maintain an incident-free workplace.

  • Team Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with team leads and inventory specialists to resolve operational constraints and optimize daily workflows.

Qualifications & Attributes
  • Proven Equipment Expertise: Documented history of operating material handling equipment in high-volume, deadline-driven environments.

  • Digital Literacy: High comfort level using RF scanners and entering data into inventory systems or tracking procedures. Basic proficiency in Microsoft Excel for digital reporting is highly valued.

  • Process-Oriented Mindset: Experience with cycle counting, shipping/receiving procedures, and inventory integrity.

  • Reliability: A track record of punctual attendance, strict scheduling adherence, and a proactive approach to workplace safety.

  • Clear Communication: Ability to articulate inventory or equipment issues clearly to management and team members.

Why Apply? This facility offers a stable, clean, and highly organized environment with an emphasis on team safety and modern logistics processes. If a hybrid role that combines skilled equipment operation with technical warehouse management aligns with your background, submit an application to start the conversation.
