Forklift Operator Jobs in Corvallis, OR

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.
