Fork Lift Operator; P1P

Are you an experienced Forklift Operator who thrives in a fast-paced, industrial environment? We are looking for skilled drivers to join our wood processing team. In this role, you won't just be moving pallets in a clean, quiet aisle—you will be handling large, heavy, and variable loads of raw lumber, timber, and finished wood products across our processing plant and outdoor yard.

• Material Handling:
  Safely load, unload, stack, and move raw logs, processed lumber, bundles of wood, and finished products throughout the plant and yard.
• Production Support:
  Feed raw materials to processing machines and clear finished products from the production lines to keep operations moving smoothly.
• Shipping & Receiving:
  Load and unload flatbeds, trailers, and railcars accurately according to shipping manifests.
• Inventory Control:
  Organize yard inventory, ensuring bundles are stacked securely, labeled correctly, and easily accessible.
• Equipment Maintenance:
  Perform daily pre-shift forklift inspections (checking fluids, tires, brakes, and hydraulics) and report any maintenance needs immediately.
• Safety Culture:
  Strictly adhere to all OSHA regulations, plant safety rules, and outdoor yard traffic patterns.

• Experience:
  
  Minimum of 1–2 years of experience operating sit-down industrial forklifts (experience with large-capacity or outdoor forklifts handling oversized/lumber loads is a major plus).
• Adaptability:
  Comfortable working in an industrial plant and outdoor yard environment, which means exposure to sawdust, loud machinery, and changing weather conditions (heat, rain, cold).
• Physical Stamina:
  Ability to sit for long periods, frequently climb on and off the forklift, and lift up to 50 lbs occasionally.
• Reliability: A track record of excellent attendance, punctuality, and a safety-first mindset.

• Competitive weekly pay with overtime opportunities.
• Comprehensive benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision).
