Forklift Operator, 1st Shift
About The Position
To thrive as a Forklift Operator, you must be able to easily coordinate the receipt, transfer, and shipping of materials while servicing the manufacturing departments. In this role, you will use various power industrial vehicles (PIV) throughout their shifts, including reach trucks, forklifts, and a clamp truck. A standard shift will include receiving deliveries by completing the appropriate paperwork and unloading the truck before either staging or storing that material within the facility. Additionally, you will receive calls from the Filling and Milling departments to pull and stage materials for them as needed for production. You are expected to maintain a clean and safe workspace and dock area throughout your shift. Also, a Forklift Operator is responsible for completing scheduled cycle counts to help maintain an accurate inventory of raw materials. A scan gun and/or tablet is used for these cycle counts, so a basic understanding of computer systems is vital.
