Material Handler

Job Description Forklift experience? We want to talk to you. Do you know your way around a forklift better than most people know their own kitchen? Are you the person on your current team who can spot a misplaced pallet from across the warehouse? If so, we need you on our materials team. We’re looking for a hands‑on, detail‑driven Materials Handler to keep our production floor stocked, organized, and running smoothly.

• Load and unload materials from company vehicles, moving them safely to and from storage racks
• Use our dedicated part numbering system to place materials accurately on loading docks, pallet racking, and inventory shelves
• Work directly with production departments each day to confirm material needs and deliver what’s required, when it’s required
• Pull inventory in preparation for deliveries and help keep stock levels where they need to be
• Communicate with suppliers to order materials and flag inventory that should be scrapped
• Operate a forklift daily — along with a man lift, and overhead crane as needed Follow safety procedures to protect yourself and your teammates What You Bring
• A forklift license is required (don’t have one yet? We’ll provide the test — just bring the willingness to learn)
• A valid driver’s license
• High school diploma or GED
• Comfort with basic hand tools and safe lifting practices
• Solid math skills — fractions, percentages, ratios, and proportions used in real, practical ways
• Ability to follow written, verbal, and diagram‑based instructions
• A professional attitude, especially when working with customers and suppliers
• Flexibility to rotate into other roles/departments as production needs shift Why This Role This is a job for someone who takes pride in precision and doesn’t mind being on the move.
