Forklift Operator

Porter Logistics
Atlanta, GA

Porter Logistics is a fast-growing third-party logistics (3PL) provider redefining modern warehousing and fulfillment. Headquartered in Atlanta, we’ve grown over the past decade from a two-person operation in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse to an organization supporting more than 1 million square feet across multiple Georgia facilities.

We're trusted by some of the world's most recognized brands, but here's what really sets us apart: we build careers, not just fill roles. Many of our leaders started in entry-level positions and grew with us.

This is a tight-knit team where leaders know you by name, your work creates visible impact every single day, and hard work gets rewarded with real opportunities. If you're energized by challenge, want limitless growth potential, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, keep reading.

The Role:

As a Forklift Operator, you're the engine that powers everything we do. You'll safely operate multiple types of equipment (sit-down, stand-up, cherry picker, reach) while loading, unloading, sorting, staging, and transporting products through our fast-moving operation.

This isn't a clock-in, clock-out job. You'll be a problem-solver who takes ownership, adapts on the fly, and keeps our operation running smoothly when things get dynamic. If you take pride in precision, thrive under pressure, and want your expertise to actually matter, this is your opportunity.

What You'll Earn:

  • $18-20/hour based on experience
  • Competitive medical, dental, and vision plans
  • Paid time off and company holidays
  • Overtime opportunities

You'll Thrive Here If You:

  • Roll up your sleeves and stay hands-on when things get messy
  • Run toward challenges instead of away from them
  • Want to grow your career with a company that promotes from within
  • Value being part of a small, high-energy team where everyone matters

This Might Not Be For You If:

  • You're looking for predictable, repetitive days
  • You prefer a big corporate environment with layers of bureaucracy
  • You're watching the clock instead of the work
What You'll Be Responsible For:
  • Unload palletized products from containers and trailers using forklifts and other material handling equipment.
  • Transport and put away product into assigned warehouse storage locations, ensuring proper placement and organization.
  • Retrieve and pick orders accurately from warehouse storage locations based on pick lists and customer requirements.
  • Safely load palletized product onto trailers and containers for outbound shipments.
  • Perform daily inspections and basic maintenance of forklifts to ensure safe operation.
  • Follow all company policies, standard operating procedures, and safety regulations to uphold a safe and compliant work environment.
  • Identify and report any product damage, equipment issues, or process concerns promptly.

What We're Looking For :

  • Proven experience as a forklift driver, preferably in a 3PL or logistics environment.
  • 2+ years of experience operating a forklift.
  • Familiarity with palletized handling and transport.
  • Knowledge of warehouse safety practices and procedures.
  • Ability to operate forklifts and other warehouse machinery safely and efficiently.
  • Experience with RF scanning devices for inventory tracking and management
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Physical ability to lift and move heavy objects (up to 50 lbs).
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment while meeting safety and quality expectations

The Hiring Process:
We value your time and are committed to a streamlined, respectful hiring experience. Candidates selected for further consideration will begin with a brief phone screen with a member of our HR team. If mutual interest is confirmed, you’ll be invited for an in-person interview at our warehouse to meet the team and tour the facility.
