Full Job Description

Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Warehouse Heavy Equipment Operator to safely handle oversized and overweight freight in a fast-paced industrial warehouse environment. This position requires significantly more skill than traditional warehouse forklift work. Operators routinely move freight weighing 10,000 to 36,000 pounds, including industrial machinery, steel, oversized equipment, and specialized customer freight. While operating heavy-capacity forklifts is the primary responsibility, this is a hands-on position. Team members assist with hand unloading containers, palletizing freight, building customer pallets, sorting product, and preparing shipments to support efficient warehouse operations and exceptional customer service. Successful candidates are safety-focused professionals who are willing to do whatever it takes to move freight safely, efficiently, and accurately.

Duties

Heavy Freight Handling

Safely operate heavy-capacity forklifts to move freight weighing up to 36,000 pounds.
Evaluate load stability, center of gravity, and fork placement before lifting.
Load and unload flatbeds, dry vans, ocean containers, and specialized trailers.

Containers, Dry Van, Flatbed loads & Manual Freight Handling

Work cross-dock loads with customer-specific handling requirements.
Able to operate a forklift in a container for both regular freight and large freight.
Some hand unloading of floor-loaded containers efficiently.
Palletize loose freight to customer specifications and to warehouse standards.
Rework damaged or shifted freight as needed.
Sort, organize, and consolidate freight for storage or shipment.

Warehouse Operations

Work alongside teammates during large unloads or oversized freight projects.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe warehouse.

Experience

3+ years operating heavy-capacity forklifts (15,000 lb.+ preferred)
Experience handling oversized and overweight freight
Experience loading flatbeds and ocean containers
Experience in industrial warehousing, steel distribution, heavy equipment, machinery moving, or specialized logistics
Forklift certification preferred
Proven record of safe equipment operation

Physical Requirements:

Frequently lift and carry materials weighing up to 50 pounds without assistance.

Schedule & Compensation:

Mon–Fri, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM
Earn between $25 - $30 per hour, with starting pay determined by skill and background.
Opportunities for performance increases and advancement.

What We're Looking For:

Our best operators don't just drive forklifts—they solve problems. They know when to use equipment, when to work by hand, and how to work alongside their teammates to keep freight moving. If you're the type of person who is willing to jump off the forklift to hand unload a container, build pallets, help a coworker, and then safely move a 30,000-pound load, you'll fit well at RFMX.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $25.00 - $30.00 per hour

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Health insurance
Life insurance
Paid sick time
Paid time off
Vision insurance
