Join Gallo Winery as a Warehouse Forklift Operator and be part of a team that keeps our operations moving safely and efficiently.

We value safety, continuous learning, and teamwork. You’ll follow established safety procedures, participate in certification and re‑certification for clamp and forklift operation, and apply technical training to your role. We encourage problem solving, clear communication across Ops and Supply Chain, and sharing ideas for process improvements that reduce costs and improve service. A sense of urgency, reliability, and the ability to multi‑task are essential.

Gallo is committed to an inclusive workplace where diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and abilities are welcomed. We provide training and support to help you develop skills, and we’ll work with you on reasonable accommodations throughout the hiring process and on the job.
