Forklift Logistics Specialist, Shipping & Inventory

What your day looks like

You start your morning in Cary, IL, on our 1st Shift (7:30 am–4:00 pm, Monday–Friday). After a quick handoff with the Warehouse Supervisor, you’ll power up a sit-down forklift and begin moving materials from floor locations to shelving that reaches at least five levels high. Throughout the day, you’ll pick items from stacked racks and deliver them to production machines so our operation can run around the clock and meet customer ship dates.

You’ll keep a close eye on inventory using RF scanners, update counts, and complete allocation sheets so every production area has exactly what it needs. When trucks arrive, you’ll load and unload, stage and prep orders for shipment, and put away returned or unused materials. You’ll also help with general upkeep of the warehouse to keep aisles clear and equipment ready.
