Job Description

As a Forklift/Material Handler, you will support a fast-paced automotive manufacturing operation by assisting across multiple departments as business needs change. This is not a position where you will remain on a forklift for the entire shift; team members must be willing and flexible to work in areas such as the production line and quality department. Forklift duties will include staging shipments, moving materials, and unloading containers in receiving. The ideal candidate is dependable, safety-focused, and comfortable switching between forklift operation and hands-on production support throughout the workday.

• Assist on the production line with material handling, parts movement, assembly support, or other production tasks based on operational needs.
• Support the quality department with product handling, sorting, visual checks, or other assigned quality-related activities.
• Move, organize, and stage materials in designated areas while following inventory, safety, and housekeeping procedures.
• Remain flexible throughout the shift and move between forklift, production, receiving, and quality assignments as directed.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Previous forklift operating experience required; ability to operate powered industrial equipment safely in a manufacturing environment.
• Must understand and accept that forklift operation is only one part of the position and be willing to perform hands-on production and quality work.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, reach, and perform material-handling or production tasks for extended periods during the shift.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to follow safety rules, work instructions, and department procedures.
• Must be dependable, punctual, team-oriented, and flexible to work in different departments based on daily business needs.
