Warehouse Forklift Operator - Night Shift
About The Position
This full-time warehouse position is responsible for moving and storing food and food-service products, maintaining accurate inventory, protecting product quality and safety, and supporting timely order fulfillment. The operator uses a stand-up forklift to move palletized products to designated storage locations and replenish lower picking slots. Stockers may also bring full pallets down from higher shelves to floor level so order selectors can continue picking without delay. The work takes place in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and requires working safely around order selectors while following food-handling regulations and company policies. Night-shift work starts at 5 p.m. The posting lists starting wages of $19.50 per hour for the dry warehouse and $20.50 per hour for the perishable warehouse, with frequent opportunities for wage increases during the first 90 days and semi-frequent opportunities through the following 18 months. A $750 night-shift hiring bonus is offered, with $250 paid at three months and $500 at six months. Warehouse temperatures vary: the dry warehouse ranges from 40–80 degrees by season; the perishable warehouse is 29–53 degrees in the cooler and -10 to 0 degrees in the freezer. Products generally weigh 10–50 pounds and may occasionally weigh up to 100 pounds.
