• Change forklift propane tanks as needed.

  
  

• Maintain a clean and organized work area.

  
  

• Follow all established safety and operational procedures.

  
  

• Support warehouse and production operations as needed.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2 years of warehouse experience operating sit-down forklifts.

  
  

• Experience operating sit-down double-fork and/or clamp equipment required.

  
  

• Ability to pass an onsite forklift driving assessment.

  
  

• Experience with RF scanners and warehouse inventory systems preferred.

  
  

• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs.

  
  

• Availability to work rotating 12-hour shifts, including scheduled weekends.

  
  

• Strong attention to safety, attendance, and productivity.

  
  

• Steel-toe safety shoes required.

Additional Workplace Details

• Three 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch.

  
  

• Safety glasses and safety vest provided.

• Must be comfortable working a rotating 2-2-3 schedule.
