Job description

A day in the life — Richmond, VA

You clock in, review the day’s dock schedule, and start with a quick safety check of your lift truck. Pallets are staged for outbound orders, inbound trailers are on the way, and the team is counting on your precision. You navigate aisles, place inventory exactly where it belongs, and keep product flowing so customers get what they need—on time and intact.

What you’ll do

  • Operate forklifts and related material handling equipment safely and efficiently to move goods throughout the facility.
  • Load and unload trucks while protecting products from damage and ensuring proper placement.
  • Organize inventory in assigned locations and maintain orderly storage areas.
  • Perform routine pre- and post-operation inspections on forklifts; promptly report maintenance needs.
  • Follow all safety procedures, PPE requirements, and site guidelines to maintain a safe workplace.
  • Work closely with teammates to achieve daily throughput and accuracy goals.
  • Help train new team members on safe forklift operation and best practices.

What you bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
  • Current forklift operator certification.
  • Hands-on experience operating forklifts in warehouse or industrial environments.
  • Sharp attention to detail and a safety-first mindset.
  • Ability to lift heavy items and handle physically demanding tasks.
  • Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach.
  • Basic computer proficiency for inventory systems.
  • Why you’ll thrive here

  • Fast-paced, team-oriented environment where your focus and accuracy matter.
  • Opportunities to share your expertise while onboarding new operators.
  • A culture that values organization, communication, and safety above all.
  • Join us in Richmond, VA and help keep our operation moving.
