What a day looks like
You start your shift by checking your forklift, confirming it’s safe and ready. From there, you’ll navigate the yard and facility to move raw materials and finished goods where they’re needed most. You’ll load and unload arriving trucks and containers, keep inventory organized and accurate, and coordinate with teammates to hit deadlines without compromising safety. If something looks off—an unusual sound from a lift, a loose pallet, a blocked lane—you act quickly, report it, and help keep operations running smoothly.
