  Adhere strictly to all safety regulations and procedures to keep every shift secure and productive.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience & Credentials:
  • Minimum of 1 year of counterbalance forklift experience
  • A valid and up-to-date counterbalance forklift license (with in-house licences accepted)
• Confidence and Expertise:
  You must be a very confident driver. This role requires someone who can command the fast-paced environment with precision and assurance.
• Team & Independent Work:
  The ability to work both independently and as part of a vibrant team is essential.

• Flexibility:
  Adaptable to various night shift times as needed.
