Job Overview

Position Title: Heavy Equipment Forklift Operator

We are seeking skilled candidates to operate a robust industrial forklift for the movement of heavy materials such as steel beams, pipes, and plates within a manufacturing and distribution environment. Initially, candidates will undergo training focused on mastering the operation of heavy forklifts, with a significant portion of their time dedicated to understanding material placement and lift operation.

Beyond forklift duties, candidates should be prepared to engage in physical activities, including walking at least 50% of their shift to locate materials or assist crane operators. The role requires navigating between the facility and separate steel storage areas, which may involve exposure to varying weather conditions.

Successful candidates must possess experience operating heavy industrial forklifts capable of lifting 15,000 to 20,000 lbs. Responsibilities will also include maintaining cleanliness in the work area. The position demands considerable physical effort, including climbing onto flatbed trailers when necessary.

As candidates progress, they will learn to load flatbed trailers and railcars, which entails rigging, inventory management, and documentation of outgoing shipments. Familiarity with safety protocols is essential, as the work environment involves both flatbed trucks and railcar systems.

Essential Skills
  • Forklift Operation: 2-3 years of experience
  • Heavy Industry/Construction: 2-3 years of experience
Key Attributes
  • Ability to retain information based on color coding
  • Strong physical stamina
  • Commitment to safety regulations
Work Environment

The work setting includes both indoor and outdoor areas, with steel materials stored in various locations. Candidates should be prepared for extreme temperatures, as the environment resembles a construction site, necessitating the use of hard hats, steel-toed boots, and safety vests.
