This position operates heavy-capacity forklifts and works around overhead cranes and rigging equipment to handle large, heavy, and irregularly shaped steel products.\n\nThis role requires more than traditional warehouse forklift experience. Successful operators must understand load weight and capacity, material identification, load balance, and the unique safety considerations involved in moving structural steel and other heavy steel products.\n\nForklift Operators report directly to the Distribution Supervisor and move material and product as directed to support safe and efficient operations.\n\nPrimary Responsibilities\nPerform and document required daily forklift inspections before operating equipment.\nImmediately report equipment deficiencies, unusual noises, operating difficulties, or unsafe conditions.\nIdentify material for movement or production and verify applicable material tags, heat numbers, quantities, and other identifying information.\nDetermine or calculate material weight and select equipment with the appropriate rated capacity.\nSafely pick up, secure, transport, stage, and position large or irregularly shaped steel products.\nMaintain proper load balance and control when transporting long, heavy, or oversized material.\nMaintain constant awareness of pedestrians, coworkers, equipment, material, and other hazards within the operating area.\nCommunicate with coworkers before moving material and coordinate safe material movement involving forklifts, overhead cranes, and other equipment.\nFollow established procedures for the safe use of overhead cranes, rigging, lifting accessories, and material-handling equipment.\nAssist with stock checks, inventory verification, and physical material counts as directed.\nMaintain safe and organized material storage and staging areas.\nFollow all company safety policies, operating procedures, and equipment requirements.\nIdentify and report potential safety hazards or operational deficiencies to management.\nAttend required safety meetings, training, and equipment certifications.\nAssist with training and development of other employees when requested.\nPerform additional duties as assigned to support Steel Distribution operations.\n\nSkills & Qualifications\nMinimum 2 years of forklift or heavy material-handling experience in steel distribution, structural steel, metals, pipe, manufacturing, or a comparable heavy industrial environment preferred.\nDemonstrated ability to safely handle large, long, heavy, and irregularly shaped material.\nKnowledge of forklift capacities and ability to select appropriate equipment based on material weight and dimensions.\nKnowledge of overhead crane operation, rigging practices, lifting accessories, and equipment capacities preferred.\nAbility to calculate or determine material weights and understand equipment load limits.\nAbility to identify and verify material using tags, heat numbers, and other identifying information.\nStrong spatial awareness and ability to safely maneuver material in active industrial environments.\nHigh level of attention to detail.\nStrong verbal communication skills and ability to coordinate material movements with coworkers.\nDemonstrated commitment to safe work practices and procedures.\nReliable attendance and ability to consistently work the required schedule.\n\nSchedule: Monday–Friday | 6:00 AM–4:30 PM\nOvertime may be required based on production and operational needs.\n\nThe Experience We're Looking For\nThe strongest candidates will have experience moving steel or similarly large and heavy material, rather than experience limited to palletized warehouse products.\nExperience in a steel service center, structural steel operation, pipe yard, metals distribution facility, fabrication facility, lumber operation, precast operation, or other heavy-material environment may translate well to this position.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4117,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T06:08:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long
