• Operate reach forklifts, counterbalance trucks, and material handling equipment safely within a fast-paced manufacturing & logistics warehouse environment.
• Load, offload, sort, stage, and stack palletized freight from flatbeds, trailers, and shipping containers.
• Coordinate and execute daily shipping and receiving duties, including verifying packing slips, bills of lading (BOL), and purchase orders against physical receipts.
