Job Description

Job Description

Stand-Up Forklift Operator (CROWN) – 12-Hour Shifts | Up to $20/Hour

Looking for a stable warehouse role with great pay, consistent scheduling, and long shifts that mean more days off ? Join a clean, modern distribution center where safety, accuracy, and teamwork are the top priorities.

We’re hiring experienced forklift operators to move critical, FDA-regulated products in a fast-paced but structured environment—no production pressure, just focus on doing the job right.

Why You’ll Want This Job
  • Competitive pay up to $20/hour based on shift
  • 12-hour schedules = fewer workdays and built-in overtime
  • Multiple shift options to fit your lifestyle (day or night)
  • Clean, semi-climate-controlled warehouse
  • Long-term opportunity with a stable and growing company
What You’ll Do
  • Operate CROWN stand-up and high-reach forklifts safely and efficiently
  • Load and unload trucks in inbound and outbound operations
  • Pick and stage full pallets and case orders accurately using RF scanners
  • Move and store materials in proper warehouse locations
  • Follow strict FDA and quality standards where accuracy matters more than speed
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience operating stand-up or reach forklifts (CROWN preferred)
  • Ability to work 12-hour shifts on a rotating schedule
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety
  • Comfortable using RF scanners and basic warehouse technology
  • Reliable, team-oriented, and ready to work
Work Environment
  • Clean, organized, semi-climate-controlled facility
  • Structured warehouse with focus on accuracy and safety—not speed
  • Team-oriented environment with clear expectations
