Reach Truck Operator (New York)

ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for an experienced Reach Truck Operator to join a fast-moving distribution operation in West Babylon, NY. In this role, you'll work on a small, self-directed crew managing high-rack storage and order fulfillment - safely and efficiently, with minimal supervision. If you're comfortable operating at height and take real pride in a safety-first approach, we want to hear from you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Safely operate stand-up reach trucks and high-lift forklifts to store and retrieve pallets from racking at heights of 2530 feet in narrow aisles.
- Cherry pick to select and retrieve individual items at height for order fulfillment.
- Pull, stage, and verify inventory accuracy using RF scanners for inbound and outbound order fulfillment.
- Perform general material handling, including loading and unloading freight while keeping shipping docks organized and clear.
- Perform daily equipment inspections and maintain a clean, organized, accident-free work area.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 1+ years of hands-on experience operating a stand-up reach truck or joystick-controlled high-reach forklift. Experience with sit-down forklifts is also a plus.
- Comfortable working at heights of 2530 feet in narrow aisles throughout the shift.
- Ability to remain on your feet or operating equipment for the duration of the shift, and to lift up to 50 lbs as needed.
- Genuine safety-first mindset: runs daily equipment checks and reports issues rather than working around them.
- Reliable attendance and punctuality
- Must be 18+ and authorized to work in the United States.
- Reliable personal transportation to commute to the worksite.
- Forklift certification is a plus; the employer will certify the right candidate on-site.

BENEFITS
- Schedule: First shift, 7:00 AM 3:30 PM.
- Temp-to-perm opportunity with a path to permanent placement.
