The Role
As a Forklift Operator, you're the engine that powers everything we do. You'll safely operate multiple types of equipment (sit-down, stand-up, cherry picker, reach) while loading, unloading, sorting, staging, and transporting products through our fast-moving operation.
This isn't a clock-in, clock-out job. You'll be a problem-solver who takes ownership, adapts on the fly, and keeps our operation running smoothly when things get dynamic. If you take pride in precision, thrive under pressure, and want your expertise to actually matter, this is your opportunity.
What You'll Earn

- Competitive medical, dental, and vision plans
- Paid time off and company holidays
- Overtime opportunities

- Roll up your sleeves and stay hands-on when things get messy
- Run toward challenges instead of away from them
- Want to grow your career with a company that promotes from within
- Value being part of a small, high-energy team where everyone matters
This Might Not Be For You If
- You're looking for predictable, repetitive days
- You prefer a big corporate environment with layers of bureaucracy
- You're watching the clock instead of the work
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a forklift driver, preferably in a 3PL or logistics environment
- 2+ years of experience operating a forklift
- Familiarity with palletized handling and transport
- Knowledge of warehouse safety practices and procedures
- Ability to operate forklifts and other warehouse machinery safely and efficiently
- Experience with RF scanning devices for inventory tracking and management
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy
