Forklift Operator Jobs in North Bergen, NJ

A Forklift Operator plays a crucial role in the logistics industry, ensuring the efficient management of goods in warehouses and distribution centers. Their primary responsibilities include loading and unloading cargo, moving goods stored on pallets or in crates around the storage facility, stacking goods in the correct storage bays, and following inventory control instructions. They also check loads for accuracy and damages, ensuring that the correct products are delivered to the right location. To ensure safety, forklift operators are required to perform regular machine checks and adhere to safety regulations.

Important skills for a Forklift Operator include good hand-eye coordination, physical fitness, attention to detail, and the ability to adhere to safety guidelines. As the work involves lifting heavy goods and operating machinery, forklift operators must be comfortable with physical work and have a high level of mechanical aptitude. They should also have a good understanding of warehouse processes and inventory control. Certifications in forklift operation are critical, with OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) forklift certification being a common requirement. Prior to becoming a Forklift Operator, a person may have roles such as a Warehouse Associate, Delivery Driver, or Material Handler.
