Forklift Operator (Presses) 2nd Shift - Full-time / Part-time

The Forklift Drivers duties are to safely and efficiently manage the receipt, internal movement (to include warehouse organization, and good housekeeping), manufacturing support, and shipment of raw materials, and machinery to satisfy our internal and external customer needs. Forklift operators work in a variety of areas in the plant. They load and unload incoming and outgoing materials and move materials to the production areas. Forklift drivers in some parts of the warehouse will remove and place up to 6000 pound loads onto stacks up to 20 feet high. Since these individuals have such a critical impact on our material inventory, they are designated as “inventory personnel” and may be assigned reports and paperwork that pertain to these duties.
