Forklift Operator

Description

The forklift operator will be responsible for warehousing and goods management tasks within logistics facilities. This position is essential to ensuring efficiency in the supply chain, guaranteeing that all products are handled, stored, and prepared in accordance with established procedures and the highest safety standards. Responsibilities include receiving incoming goods, verifying delivery notes, and conducting visual inspections of products to detect possible damage. Once received, the operator will use the forklift to transport loads to their designated locations within the warehouse—whether on conventional shelving or in dynamic storage systems. Organizing storage space is a key part of the job, keeping aisles clear and products properly labeled to facilitate location. Additionally, the operator will actively participate in order picking, collecting items according to picking lists and ensuring each order is complete and ready for dispatch. Loading and unloading trucks and containers is another core activity, requiring coordination with drivers and adherence to loading protocols to optimize space and ensure cargo stability during transportation. Forklift operation must be carried out with precision and care to prevent accidents and damage to infrastructure or products. The operator will also be responsible for basic machine maintenance, such as checking fuel or battery charge levels, inspecting tires, and reporting any malfunctions to the supervisor. The work takes place in a dynamic environment where attention to detail, ability to follow instructions, and teamwork are essential to meeting daily productivity and quality targets. This position offers rotating shifts covering morning and afternoon hours, with the possibility of permanent employment following successful completion of the initial probationary period. A valid forklift operator’s license is required, along with at least a compulsory secondary education (ESO) qualification and a minimum of one year’s verifiable experience operating forklifts in a logistics environment.
