what forklift driver jobs entail
Forklift driver jobs vary. They can be full time, part time, or contract positions. Shiftwork is common: weekends, evenings, and night shifts may be necessary. You may work in a warehouse, dockyard, factory, construction site or wherever products or equipment are stored on pallets or stacked on industrial shelving and need to be moved.
As part of your job, you follow all health and safety guidelines, ensuring your forklift and other machinery is working efficiently. You wear safety equipment as necessary. In most cases, you will report to the warehouse manager or shift foreman.
