* Operate forklifts, motorized lifts, and other powered industrial equipment
throughout the facility.
* Supply printing presses and finishing equipment with paper, raw materials,
and other production supplies.
* Transport raw materials and finished products throughout the plant.
* Load and unload trailers safely and efficiently.
* Maintain accurate inventory using RF scanners and computerized inventory
systems.
* Support production teams by delivering materials where and when they're
needed.
* Perform routine equipment inspections and report maintenance concerns.
* Follow all company safety policies and operating procedures.
* Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
* Perform other duties as assigned.
What We're Looking For
* Previous forklift operating experience is strongly preferred.
* Experience in manufacturing, warehousing, shipping, logistics, distribution,
or material handling environments.
* Experience loading and unloading trailers safely and efficiently.
* Basic computer skills and the ability to learn inventory management systems.
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to workplace safety.
* Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
* Reliable attendance and a strong work ethic.
* Ability to read, understand, and follow written and verbal instructions.
* Experience supporting manufacturing or printing operations is a plus.
Why Quad?
At Quad, you'll do more than move materials—you'll play a critical role in
keeping one of North America's largest print manufacturing operations running
efficiently. We invest in our employees by providing opportunities to grow,
learn new skills, and build long-term careers with an industry leader.
Hartford employees enjoy a variety of unique benefits, including:
* 12-hour compressed work schedule—work only 182 days per year while
maintaining full-time pay and benefits.
* Fixed day shift schedule with no rotating shifts.
* Every other week includes a four-day break, providing more time for family,
hobbies, and life outside of work.
