Job Description

Forklift Operators are critical to our success at Frito Lay! Our Forklift Operators are responsible for a variety of typical warehouse duties, including handling material and operating a forklift to move product around a warehouse. Although you will start out as a Forklift Operator for Frito Lay, we are investing in helping you grow with us. This job can open the door to career opportunities with us or our parent company, Pepsi Co.

In this role, here are some of the frequent tasks you will be doing:

* Safely place and store product in multi-tiered warehouse storage

* Pick appropriate cases according to order using required technology

* Properly manage warehouse inventory by using handheld scanners and Inventory Control Systems

* 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.)

We are open 24 hours a day, which means you may not have a typical schedule, and our jobs are physical! If you have never worked in a warehouse environment before, you should understand that you will be on your feet for the entirety of your shift. Here are the minimum qualifications of this job:

* You are 18 years of age or older

* You can repeatedly lift, carry, push, pull, and handle products with or without a reasonable accommodation

* You are willing and able to work at heights using ladders or lifts to access areas of the plant

* You are willing and able to work in an environment that has extreme temperatures, humidity, hazardous/loud equipment, and slippery surfaces

While the minimum qualifications are all you need to apply, top candidates will also have:

* One year of experience operating a forklift or using equipment in a manufacturing/warehouse environment

As a full-time team member, you will be eligible to receive full company benefits. You can learn more about our benefits on our career site, but here are some of the benefits we offer:

* 401(k) contribution

* Health, dental and vision insurance

* Financial support to help obtain a degree

* Company discounts and perks

Our application takes 20-25 minutes to finish on any device. Our mission is to get you in for an interview instead of jumping through hoops. Just keep an eye on your e-mail, and we will take care of the rest.
