  • Transport raw materials, packaging, and finished goods between receiving, storage racks, assembly lines, and shipping docks.

  • Stack, organize, and store pallets at heights, observing weight capacity limits and stability requirements.

  • Experience: Minimum of 1–2 years of experience operating powered industrial trucks in a fast-paced warehouse, distribution, or manufacturing environment.

Benefits
