Immediate Start | Day Shift | Experienced Operators Only
Our client is a well-established aluminium company based in Smithfield and is looking for an experienced Forklift Driver to join their team on a full-time day shift.
This is not a position for someone who simply holds a forklift licence. You must have solid, hands-on experience operating forklifts in a busy yard/warehouse environment, particularly when loading and unloading trucks and B-doubles.
The Role
Loading and unloading aluminium products and cases from trucks and B-doubles
Operating a large standard counterbalance forklift
Operating a Combilift reach truck

Strong understanding of forklift safety and load stability
Reliable, punctual and safety-focused
Must be physically capable of working around aluminium products
KEY: A forklift licence alone is not sufficient for this position. The successful applicant must be able to demonstrate genuine experience and confidence operating large forklifts and loading/unloading B-doubles. Safety is our number one priority, and applicants with limited forklift experience will not be considered.
