As a Full-Time Production Forklift Operator at Viking Coca‑Cola, you'll play a vital role in ensuring our warehouse runs like a well‑oiled machine! You'll be responsible for strategically placing full products, following the FIFO (First In, First Out) method to guarantee freshness. Unloading empty can bodies and expertly moving them to the production area will be your daily adventure, as you wrap loads according to established procedures.

Mastering the art of precision, you'll ensure the correct empty cans are placed on the de‑pal and that the right wraps are applied on case packers. Completing essential paperwork accurately—the cleaning checklist, line checklist, pre‑operating forklift checklist, and documentation for drivers—is crucial. You'll strap, stack, and load dunnage while placing pallets of lid sleeves for the filler, and keep the shrink wrapper machine running smoothly by changing rolls as needed.
