ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for an experienced Reach Truck Operator to join a fast-moving distribution operation in West Babylon, NY. In this role, you'll work on a small, self-directed crew managing high-rack storage and order fulfillment - safely and efficiently, with minimal supervision. If you're comfortable operating at height and take real pride in a safety-first approach, we want to hear from you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO - Safely operate stand-up reach trucks and high-lift forklifts to store and retrieve pallets from racking at heights of 25–30 feet in narrow aisles. - Cherry pick to select and retrieve individual items at height for order fulfillment. - Pull, stage, and verify inventory accuracy using RF scanners for inbound and outbound order fulfillment. - Perform general material handling, including loading and unloading freight while keeping shipping docks organized and clear. - Perform daily equipment inspections and maintain a clean, organized, accident-free work area.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 1+ years of hands-on experience operating a stand-up reach truck or joystick-controlled high-reach forklift. Experience with sit-down forklifts is also a plus. - Comfortable working at heights of 25–30 feet in narrow aisles throughout the shift. - Ability to remain on your feet or operating equipment for the duration of the shift, and to lift up to 50 lbs as needed. - Genuine safety-first mindset: runs daily equipment checks and reports issues rather than working around them. - Reliable attendance and punctuality - Must be 18+ and authorized to work in the United States. - Reliable personal transportation to commute to the worksite. - Forklift certification is a plus; the employer will certify the right candidate on-site.
BENEFITS - Schedule: First shift, 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM. - Temp-to-perm opportunity with a path to permanent placement.
