Their warehouse operates with high standards of safety, quality, and productivity to ensure timely delivery and optimal stock management for their clients. The position available is for a Warehouseman / Stand-up Rider Reach HiLo Driver, which involves operating specialized material handling equipment to move products efficiently within the warehouse. This role offers a permanent shift with competitive pay starting at $16 per hour, alongside overtime compensation at time and a half. The shifts generally run from Sunday to Thursday, either from 1:00 pm to 9:30 pm or from 3:00 pm to 11:30 pm, though other shifts may also be available. This role is ideal for individuals experienced in material handling who are comfortable working in a fast-paced, multi-temperature warehouse environment. The primary responsibility is to operate a stand-up rider reach HiLo truck to maneuver goods from docks to storage racks and from storage racks to picking locations. The operator must be adept at handling full case grocery and dairy products, sometimes using pallet jacks in required situations. This job demands physical endurance, as standing, walking, bending, and lifting items weighing up to 60 pounds are continuous requirements. Additionally, the ability to conduct pre-shift safety inspections on equipment ensures workplace safety is maintained at the highest level. This role suits candidates with at least one year of experience operating stand-up rider reach trucks. While formal certification for the reach truck is beneficial, it is not mandatory. Knowledge of electric pallet jacks is also an advantage but not required. The warehouseman must meet weekly productivity targets and maintain accuracy in order fulfillment. An important aspect of the position includes the ability to read alpha-numeric codes to correctly identify products and ensure precise order picking. The position requires candidates to be at least 18 years old, with no formal education degree needed. Employees can expect to work in a physically demanding environment involving moderate to heavy lifting, including the handling of potentially 200 or more cases per hour with heights of up to 60 inches for rack stacking. Cases may weigh as much as 60 pounds, and operators must reach to the back of pallets measuring up to 48 inches in length, often in tight spaces. The physical demands coupled with regular walking and lifting qualify this as a moderate to heavy work role that requires stamina and strength. Overall, this Warehouseman / Stand-up Rider Reach HiLo Driver position at General Trading offers a stable employment opportunity in a growing grocery and dairy wholesale distribution company where efficiency, safety, and teamwork are highly valued. Candidates who are energetic, safety-conscious, and committed to operational excellence will find this a rewarding career opportunity with a comprehensive benefits package.
