As the lead Forklift Operator, you are responsible for the safe, efficient, and precise operation of material-handling equipment, including telescopic forklifts (telehandlers), high-capacity forklifts, warehouse forklifts, and aerial work platforms. This role requires extensive experience handling heavy and oversized loads in warehouse, yard, and jobsite environments.

When not actively operating equipment, the operator will support warehouse operations including inventory management, equipment organization, reconciliation, and general facility support.

The ideal candidate demonstrates exceptional safety awareness, spatial reasoning, technical proficiency, and strong communication skills to ensure smooth, accident-free operations.

Accurately handle, transport, and place materials in tight or elevated spaces using advanced spatial awareness
Secure loads properly and follow all load-handling and rigging best practices

Safety & Compliance

Adhere to OSHA, company, and site-specific safety policies at all times
Maintain awareness of surroundings, pedestrian traffic, and overhead hazards
Participate in safety meetings, toolbox talks, and ongoing training
Proactively identify and mitigate safety risks

Team Collaboration

Communicate effectively with warehouse staff, supervisors, and site personnel
Work collaboratively to meet operational deadlines and priorities
Adapt to changing workloads, schedules, and jobsite conditions
Provide mentorship or guidance to less experienced operators as needed

Required Qualifications

10+ years of experience operating forklifts and material-handling equipment
Current forklift certification, including telehandlers (6,000–15,000 lbs or greater)
Proven experience operating boom lifts and aerial work platforms
Strong mechanical aptitude with ability to perform routine equipment maintenance
Exceptional safety record and safety-first mindset
Excellent spatial reasoning, attention to detail, and situational awareness
Strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills
Ability to work indoors and outdoors in varying conditions
Ability to lift, carry, and maneuver heavy materials as required

Preferred Qualifications

OSHA or ANSI certifications related to forklift and aerial lift operation
Experience in construction, industrial, logistics, or heavy-equipment environments
Familiarity with inventory management systems or asset tracking tools
Experience with Tenting or Special Events Inventory strongly recommended.

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand, sit, climb, bend, and lift for extended periods
Ability to work at heights using aerial platforms
Capability to lift and maneuver materials in accordance with safety guidelines

Compliance, Safety & Quality

Champion DMG’s safety culture; enforce all safety, environmental, and operational protocols.
Ensure compliance with OSHA standards, DMG policies, and industry best practices.
Conduct safety briefings, audits, hazard assessments, and emergency drills.
Maintain full compliance with quality management systems and documentation requirements.
