Forklift Operator 3rd Shift
You'll run the floor on 3rd shift, keeping a high-volume operation moving without missing a beat.
This is a temp-to-perm opportunity with a real path to a permanent seat.
Your experience on a forklift actually gets used here, not just checked off a box. Most warehouse jobs ask you to show up and push pallets. This one asks you to keep a large-scale automotive supply operation running on time, every night. If you've got forklift experience and you take pride in doing it right, this is a place where that shows. The pace is real, the work matters, and the team around you depends on getting it done together.
This is a temp-to-permanent position, which means the door to something long-term is open from day one. It's a chance to prove yourself in a high-visibility logistics environment and turn that into stability.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Most forklift postings are interchangeable. This one isn't. You're supporting a large-scale automotive logistics operation where materials have to move on schedule, which means your work has a direct, visible impact on production. You'll work alongside a team that relies on each other, with supervisors who are present on the floor rather than buried in an office. There's a clear temp-to-perm track, so strong performers aren't left guessing about what comes next.
What You'll Be Doing
- Operating a sit-down counterbalance forklift and/or reach truck to move, stage, and transport materials throughout the facility
- Loading and unloading trailers and containers
- Pulling and delivering parts to designated locations on schedule
- Completing pre-shift equipment inspections and required documentation
- Maintaining accurate inventory counts and proper material labeling/placement
- Operating safely in a high-traffic warehouse and production support environment
- 6 months to one year prior forklift operating experience required (sit-down counterbalance; reach truck experience a plus)
- Current forklift certification, or ability to obtain one on-site
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing/logistics setting
- Strong attention to detail and a real commitment to safety
- Ability to stand, walk, and operate equipment for a full shift
- Reliable attendance — this role supports an active production line
- Automotive, warehouse, or logistics experience preferred
Pay: $19.00/hour. Temporary-to-permanent opportunity. Onsite role.
