FOR EMPLOYERS
Define the requirement.
- Which truck types and attachments will be used?
- What aisle, racking and loading conditions are involved?
- Who handles site evaluation, training and authorization?
EQUIPMENT / ROLE GUIDE
Forklift operators
Forklift recruiting starts with the equipment and the environment. Experience on one truck or in one type of warehouse does not automatically translate to every site.
THE WORK
Match the equipment experience to the operation.
- Move palletized goods using the specified equipment
- Support put-away, replenishment or dock activity
- Follow the employer’s operating procedures and site requirements
This describes a role category, not a current opening. Actual duties, requirements, pay and schedules vary by employer.
FOR JOB SEEKERS
Prepare the conversation.
- Name the equipment you have actually operated.
- Explain when and where you last used it.
- Ask the employer about site training and authorization before operating.
