Job Description

Description:

Bailey sold its first forklift in 1949. Since then, Bailey has been a family-owned and operated business dedicated to selling, leasing, renting, servicing, and providing parts for forklift trucks throughout the Southeast.

Forklift Technicians troubleshoot mechanical and electrical equipment and perform repairs and scheduled maintenance based on customer needs and requirements. Forklift Technicians are dedicated to customer satisfaction, responding in a timely, polite and professional manner. Mechanic assignments vary by task, tools required, and duration on a daily basis. Some jobs may require lifting up to 50 pounds with or without an accommodation. A Forklift Technician's work typically includes completing full inspections to check all components, especially all safety related items. Technicians will either fix the problem or alert customers of the problem, recommend repairs and offer quotes for the needed repairs, and complete any paperwork necessary.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Perform diagnostic inspections as directed. Obtain input from customer. Identify the cause of failure.
  • Perform repairs or provide recommendations as needed using appropriate tools and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment.
  • Maintain a clean work area and return to pre-repair or better condition.
  • Maintain legible and detailed working records for time, parts, supplies and outside purchases in repairs. Maintain daily records of repairs for correct service billing.
  • Maintain and care for tools, equipment and vehicles. Notify management of any need for repairs or replacements.
  • Participate in job related training, including supporting the safety program, and maintaining licenses and certifications to avoid expirations.
  • Represent Bailey by maintaining professional appearance, wearing Bailey uniform, keeping the vehicle and work areas clean, and being courteous and informative with customers.
  • Handle other duties and special projects as assigned.

What we offer:

  • Competitive pay.
  • Comprehensive benefits.
  • Multiple health plans including one plan with 100% employer paid premiums.
  • Generous 401K matching.
  • 100% Employer paid short and long term disability.
  • Industry-leading vacation plan with new employees earning 3 weeks of PTO per year and eligible for up to 5 additional sick days.
  • Referral bonuses.
  • Assigned company vehicles.
  • A family owned and operated business that prioritizes the needs of our employees and customers.
  • The ability to grow your career with us through substantial training opportunities for all team members. Training includes both OEM training with our manufacturers and proprietary training developed internally through Bailey University.
Requirements:

The individual in this position should be personable, a problem solver, reliable, ethical, intelligent, and able to adapt to the forces around them—customers, suppliers, co-workers, and other vendors.

Education/Training/Experience:

  • Technical school certificate or equivalent experience in mechanical repairs.

Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities:

  • Strong mechanical skills.
  • Strong communication and problem solving skills.
  • Safe work habits.
  • Strong diagnostic and repair skills.
