3rd Shift Forklift Operator

$18 - $20 per hour

We use our data-driven integrated marketing and manufacturing platform to streamline solutions for our clients, reduce friction and enhance their marketing spend effectiveness. We’ve built a rich legacy by believing in our people, allowing them to act like owners and to take charge of their own success.

Forklift Operator

Location: Hartford, WI

Pay: $18.00–$20.00 / hour , based on relevant experience and work history

Job Type: Full-Time

Shift: Night Shift | 7:00 pm – 7:00 am

Shift Premium: Additional $3.00 / hour for night shift

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 night 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.

We offer comprehensive benefits for eligible employees including medical, prescription, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) retirement savings, paid time off, holidays and additional benefits.

Quad is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating a place of belonging — a space where employees do not need to sacrifice who they are to exist and grow in our workplace. Quad does not discriminate on any unlawful basis including race, religion, color, national origin, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, genetic information, or any other basis prohibited by applicable federal, state, or local laws. Quad also prohibits harassment of applicants and employees based on any of these protected categories.
