About The Position

The Hoist Operator 2 operates equipment to move finished products for shipping or storage, supplies manufacturing with materials, stages products, and racks unused supplies while maintaining an inventory of their type, amount, and location. The role also transports and processes manufacturing paper by-products, empties trash hoppers, and performs other housekeeping duties as needed. The operator conducts routine daily hoist inspections and reports maintenance needs. Duties may include inspecting, recharging, and replacing batteries and lubricating moving truck parts, as well as changing LP/propane. The role follows and promotes safety policies and procedures, including hazardous-waste handling, lockout/tagout rules, and hearing and eye protection. Other related duties and special projects may be assigned. This position requires advanced forklift and/or clamp-truck handling skills, including maneuvering in tight spaces and narrow aisles, on ramps, and into and out of railroad cars and trucks. The operator must judge load dimensions, truck capacity, clearances, load balance, and placement requirements, and know the storage-area layout well enough to locate and place items without detailed instructions.
