• Support production teams by delivering materials where and when they're needed.
• Perform routine equipment inspections and report maintenance concerns.
• Follow all company safety policies and operating procedures.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

What We're Looking For

• Previous forklift operating experience is strongly preferred.
• Experience in manufacturing, warehousing, shipping, logistics, distribution, or material handling environments.

• Basic computer skills and the ability to learn inventory management systems.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to workplace safety.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Reliable attendance and a strong work ethic.
• Ability to read, understand, and follow written and verbal instructions.
• Experience supporting manufacturing or printing operations is a plus.

Why Quad?

At Quad, you'll do more than move materials—you'll play a critical role in keeping one of North America's largest print manufacturing operations running efficiently. We invest in our employees by providing opportunities to grow, learn new skills, and build long-term careers with an industry leader.

Hartford employees enjoy a variety of unique benefits, including:

• 12-hour compressed work schedule—work only 182 days per year while maintaining full-time pay and benefits.
• Fixed night shift schedule with no rotating shifts.
• Every other week includes a four-day break, providing more time for family, hobbies, and life outside of work.
• On-site fitness center to support your health and wellness.
