• Water, clean, equalize and capacity-test lead-acid forklift batteries

• Swap batteries through each shift, timed with operators so trucks keep moving

• Diagnose weak batteries with a voltmeter and hydrometer, and keep logs current

• Clean up electrolyte spills safely and keep the room OSHA compliant

• Cover teammates' shifts for PTO, appointments and call-offs

What you bring

• High school diploma or GED

• 1–2 years in a battery room, industrial or warehouse maintenance, or a similar trade

• Working knowledge of watering, equalization and specific gravity testing

• Good PPE and OSHA habits; able to lift 50+ lbs and run battery lifts and hoists

• Real flexibility to pick up extra shifts

Nice to have: DC electrical knowledge, forklift certification, OSHA 10/30, or a mechanic, HVAC or industrial electrical background.

$500/month toward health insurance (fully covers an individual). PPE provided; bring steel-toe boots. Path to lead technician.
