About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and safety-driven Reach Truck Operator to join our distribution team in Pooler, GA. In this role, you will be responsible for high-bay racking, replenishment, and pallet put-away in narrow aisles. If you are an experienced stand-up reach truck driver with sharp spatial awareness and a track record of safe, damage-free operation, this is an excellent opportunity for you.

• Replenishment & Put-Away: Move incoming pallets from receiving staging lanes directly into designated rack locations; replenish primary picking locations accurately according to inventory instructions.
• Narrow-Aisle Maneuvering: Navigate narrow warehouse aisles and tight staging docks safely without contacting racking, fixtures, or other equipment.
• Equipment Maintenance: Perform mandatory pre-operational equipment inspections every morning (check battery charge, fluid levels, brakes, horn, and hydraulic lift controls).
• Load Integrity & Quality: Verify pallet stability, wrapping, and banding before lifting or racking; ensure weight limits and load capacities are strictly observed.
• Housekeeping & Safety: Keep staging zones and aisles clear of debris; stack empty pallets safely; report any damaged racking or hazards immediately.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of dedicated, hands-on experience operating a Stand-Up Reach Truck in a distribution center or high-volume warehouse.
• Technical Skills:
• Proven ability to maneuver loads smoothly and precisely at high elevations.
• Familiarity with warehouse inventory systems, pick tickets, or RF scanners is a plus.
• Certifications: Current or prior OSHA-compliant reach truck certification preferred (practical on-site driving evaluation required prior to placement).
• Physical Requirements:
• Comfortable standing for an 8-hour shift and mounting/dismounting equipment regularly.
• Ability to lift, carry, and maneuver up to 50 lbs as needed.
• Excellent depth perception, peripheral vision, and hand-eye coordination.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive pay at $17.50/hour with reliable weekly payouts
• Set daytime schedule (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
• Safe, organized, and clean facility culture
• Comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance options
