Navigate tight yard areas and maintain optimal material flow

✅ What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience operating heavy forklifts (16,000+ lbs)

Work outdoors in variable weather
🎯 Preferred Qualities
Mechanically inclined and proactive with equipment upkeep
Good communication and teamwork skills
Adaptable to fast-changing priorities and deadlines
