Forklift Operator - 12 Hour NIGHTS

Amcor•Phoenix, AZ

About The Position

Amcor is seeking an experienced Forklift Operator to load and unload trucks and trailers, handle warehouse materials, and optimize loads for operational efficiency. The role operates sit-down forklifts to move product and incoming raw materials, completes shipping and receiving paperwork, and supports accurate inventory records using physical inventories, DC-link, and the JDE system. The operator also provides material support to production, printing, and QA departments; uses an RF scanner; participates in inventory cycle counting; and follows safety guidelines. The posting describes a 12-hour schedule and lists a starting pay range of $21.00 per hour plus a $2.00-per-hour shift differential. It gives conflicting schedule details: the title says nights, while the schedule section specifies a 12-hour day shift from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on a 2,2,3,2 schedule. Amcor describes safety as its guiding principle and emphasizes customer success, responsible packaging, innovation, and investing in its workforce. The company is an equal opportunity employer and provides reasonable accommodation during the employment process.
