Forklift Operator (Mid Shift)

This mid-shift Forklift Operator role focuses on safe and efficient material handling within a warehouse environment. You receive product via railcar and truckload, scan and store it in designated locations, pick and stage orders, and load outbound trailers while performing required inspections. You maintain accurate inventory records, follow established standard operating procedures, and help keep the facility and equipment clean and safe. While the position is primarily forklift operation, you also support general warehouse functions as needed.

• Maintain 100% inventory integrity by accurately tracking product quantities and locations.
• Accurately record and submit product locations in the inventory system.
• Record and submit location changes when products are moved within the warehouse.
• Maintain a safe and clean work environment, including cleaning and maintaining forklift and clamp equipment.

• Proven ability to operate a sit-down forklift safely and efficiently in a warehouse environment.
• Experience with material handling, including receiving, storing, picking, staging, and loading products.
• Ability to use barcoding scanners to scan products into and out of inventory systems such as Abecas.

• Ability to provide a copy of an active forklift certification if currently certified.
• Ability to work in a safety-sensitive position and comply with all related policies and screening requirements.
• Capability to work a mid-shift schedule and reliably complete daily assigned tasks.
• Steel-toed shoes required as part of the safety attire.

You join a warehouse operation that values safety, accuracy, and teamwork, offering a structured environment where procedures are clear and tools are provided to help you succeed. The role provides consistent mid-shift hours and the opportunity to expand your skills in material handling and inventory processes. Onsite support for forklift recertification helps you maintain and grow your professional qualifications, while a focus on cleanliness and organization contributes to a stable and well-managed workplace.

This role is based in a warehouse setting with a mid-shift schedule, Monday through Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. You primarily operate a sit-down forklift and may use clamp equipment and barcoding scanners integrated with the Abecas inventory system. The environment emphasizes safety, cleanliness, and adherence to daily building checklists and SOPs. You work around railcar and truckload deliveries, outbound trailers, and active material handling operations. Steel-toed shoes are required as part of the dress code, and you are expected to maintain a neat, safe workspace while occasionally supporting general warehouse tasks beyond forklift operation.
