Job Type: Full-Time

Shift: Day Shift | 7:00 am 7:00 pm

Schedule: 12-hour compressed schedule (3/4 or 4/3 rotation). Work only 182 scheduled days per year while maintaining full-time status and benefits.

Experience Preferred: Previous forklift experience is strongly preferred. Experience in manufacturing, warehousing, shipping, logistics, distribution, or material handling is also valued.

Keep Production Moving

Quad is seeking Forklift Operators to join our Hartford manufacturing team.

This isn't a traditional warehouse role. You'll work directly with production teams, moving paper, materials, and finished products throughout one of Quad's largest manufacturing facilities and helping ensure our printing equipment has what it needs to keep customer orders on schedule.

What You'll Do
  • Operate forklifts and other powered material-handling equipment.
  • Supply printing and finishing equipment with paper and production materials.
  • Transport raw materials and finished products throughout the facility.
  • Load and unload trailers safely and efficiently.
  • Maintain inventory using RF scanners and computerized systems.
  • Perform routine equipment inspections.
  • Follow all safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized work environment.
What We're Looking For
  • Previous forklift operating experience is strongly preferred.
  • Manufacturing, warehouse, shipping, logistics, distribution, or material-handling experience.
  • Experience loading and unloading trailers is preferred.
  • Basic computer skills and ability to learn inventory systems.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety.
  • Reliable attendance and ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Ability to read and follow written and verbal work instructions.
Why Quad?

At Quad, you'll play an important role in keeping one of North America's largest print manufacturing operations moving.

The Hartford schedule offers something many manufacturing jobs don't:

  • Only 182 scheduled workdays per year
  • Fixed day shift with no rotating between days and nights
  • A four-day break every other week
  • On-site fitness center and medical clinic
  • Opportunities to grow into manufacturing, logistics, maintenance, operations, and leadership roles

Compensation is based on experience, skills, qualifications, shift, location, and other job-related factors.

Keep Production Moving. Build Your Career at Quad.

If you're an experienced Forklift Operator looking for stable, full-time work with a predictable schedule and more days off, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and see where a career at Quad can take you.
