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
