We’re hiring reliable, focused sit-down forklift professionals for a 3rd shift role in a busy, high-paced operation.

  • You don’t cut corners, respect the process, and want to earn the chance for long-term work

  • Can pass an in depth phone interview about the forklift, a 10 panel (THC included) urine drug test, and you enjoy getting serious OT $$$

Job Details:

  • Operate sit-down forklifts for shipping, receiving, and production moves

  • Accurately fill, label, and stage containers (totes, drums, pails)

  • Handle inventory with an RF scanner; keep inventory organized and accurate

  • Support 6S, housekeeping, and documentation every single shift

  • Overtime expected as needed, including Friday/Saturday (steel toes required, day 1)

  • Attention to detail and reliability are non-negotiable

Physical Stuff:

  • Able to lift/move product as needed

  • On your feet, operating safely for entire shift

  • Steel-toe shoes required

Apply if you:

  • Are looking to start within 1 week or less? (serious applicants only)

  • Are ready for a true overnight lifestyle—no napping on shift, no phones on the floor (none, zip, zero)

  • Can adapt to a highly organized “no babysitting” warehouse

MUST apply online, for quicker response text “QWER” and answer one question below:
If your forklift could talk, why would it recommend you for this, a busy 3rd shift forklift position in Harvey?
Looking forward to seeing who’s ready for the real work.

Thank you for applying!
