Forklift Operator

Forklift Operator

Quality Packaging Inc. is in peak season and the warehouse doesn't stop. We need a reliable, sharp Forklift Operator who knows how to keep product flowing — pulling components, loading trucks, managing inventory, and doing it all without needing someone to babysit them. If you're dependable, safety-conscious, and know your way around a sit-down forklift, we want you on the team now.

What You'll Do

• Operate a sit-down forklift to pull components from warehouse racks and stage them for production
• Return components from production back into warehouse racks to keep inventory accurate
• Load and unload freight to and from trucks — safely and on time
• Conduct cycle counts and month-end inventories as requested
• Check in parts and components received from suppliers
• Wrap and band outgoing product for shipment
• Bring pallets in from outside storage
• Empty garbage bins and keep all areas clean and organized
• Support the Warehouse Manager, Production Manager, and line leaders — whatever the floor needs

What We're Looking For

• 1–2 years of forklift experience: Starting at $18–$19/hr
• 3+ years of experience (preferred): Up to $20–$24/hr
• Sit-down forklift experience required — that's the equipment you'll be on
• No prior certification required — Quality Packaging certifies all operators in-house
• Manufacturing or warehouse environment experience is a strong plus
• Strong communication skills and a self-starter attitude
• Solid attendance history — the team counts on you showing up
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-noise environment
• High school diploma or GED required
