Forklift operator

Location: Atlanta, GA 
Duration: 5 Months

Shifts: 3 AM to 11 AM/ 7PM to 3 AM

Description:

We are currently looking for experienced forklift operators. You must have at least 6 months experience. If you have never worked in a warehouse environment before, you should understand that you will be on your feet for 90% - 95% of your shift. It's a physical job! It also gets loud and facilities are large. While we want everyone to feel comfortable, our ability to control the temperature in our warehouses is limited. Indoor warehouse working conditions are impacted by seasons and the weather.

Here is a list of some of the more frequent tasks you could expect to perform during the course of the workday:
• Be able to operate and drive a stand-up forklift with a current forklift certificate.
• Load and unload pallets and individual cases to and from trailers, as well as collect empty pallet boards and carry them to storage
• Pick appropriate cases according to order using required technology
• Safely operate a forklift after we provide you training and you obtain certification
• Load trailers via carts or stack cases on the floor of a truck trailer
• Receive and distribute product and assist in weekly product inventory
• General housekeeping and specific sanitation tasks as required (e.g. you may be asked to sweep the floor, help clean a trailer, take out the trash, etc.)
• Lift objects that weigh anywhere between 15 pounds and 50 pounds (i.e. anything from a bowling ball to a twin-size mattress) with or without a reasonable accommodation
 

Required qualifications:

• 18 years or older
• Legally authorized to work in the United States
