Original job description

Families across our region count on essential appliances arriving in their homes in perfect condition, and that journey starts right here on our warehouse floor. Big freight takes steady hands, sharp eyes, and a tight-knit crew that looks out for each other at every turn. When you take the wheel, you keep our entire operation moving safely, smoothly, and right on schedule - getting $22.50/hour paid weekly through Randstad, plus health and dental benefits through Securian on a transit-accessible afternoon shift (12:00 PM – 8:00 PM).

Responsibilities
Pilot sit-down counterbalance forklifts with precision to load, unload, and stage large appliances across a lively warehouse floor.

Handle and unbox high-value appliances with care, using safe manual lifting and moving techniques whenever a machine can't do the job alone.

Protect your crew and every piece of freight by keeping your eyes up, maintaining clean and tight staging zones, and making smart, safe turns.

Qualifications
You bring solid, hands-on experience running a sit-down counterbalance forklift. A formal ticket isn't strictly required - we care most about real, capable wheel time, which you'll show off during a hands-on assessment on day one.

You feel comfortable maneuvering bulky items and can confidently lift 50+ lbs during loading and unboxing.

You already own your own CSA-approved steel-toe safety boots and a high-visibility safety vest.

You take real pride in showing up on time for your scheduled hours and staying locked in when the floor gets busy.
