Yard Coordinator / Lift Operator

Job Description

Job Description

We are a growing intermodal trucking company operating an ocean container storage depot in Elwood, IL. We are looking for a dependable, hard-working Yard Coordinator / Lift Operator to help with the day-to-day operations of our container yard.

This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys working outdoors, operating equipment, and keeping operations organized and moving efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist with daily container yard operations, including container organization, stacking, and inventory tracking
• Coordinate inbound and outbound container movements
• Inspect chassis, trucks, and equipment to ensure safety and compliance standards are met
• Operate forklifts, container lifts, and other heavy equipment safely and efficiently
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe yard environment
• Communicate with drivers, dispatch, and customers to keep freight flowing smoothly
• Work outdoors in all weather conditions — this is Minnesota, after all

What We’re Looking For

We need someone who is dependable, self-motivated, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. You do not need years of intermodal experience to succeed here — we are willing to train the right person on our equipment and processes — but you must bring:

• Strong work ethic
• Mechanical aptitude
• Ability to work independently
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn
• Commitment to safety

Minimum Qualifications

• Must be at least 22 years old
• Valid driver’s license required
• Class A CDL preferred, but not required
• No more than 3 moving violations in the past 3 years
• No DUI/DWI or reckless driving convictions within the past 3 years
• No more than 2 chargeable/preventable accidents within the past 3 years
• Prior experience operating heavy equipment (forklifts, container handlers, reach stackers, loaders, etc.) strongly preferred
• Ability to lift, climb, and work safely in an outdoor industrial environment

What We Offer

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Training and equipment certification opportunities
• Stable, year-round work
• Opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding operation
• Full-time position with overtime opportunities available

If you are looking for a career in the transportation and logistics industry and want to be part of a team that values hard work and reliability, we’d like to talk with you.
