Forklift Operator
Birmingham, United Kingdom · FULL TIME
About the role
Mid-level Forklift Operator talent pool in Birmingham, focused on safe movement of pallets and a clean equipment check.
This talent-pool listing is for a mid-level Forklift Operator based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Day to day, the focus is safe movement of pallets and a clean equipment check. A typical stretch of time is spent inspecting the truck, moving only stable loads, and stopping when the aisle or the load is wrong.
Responsibilities
- Own the pre-use check so the shift lead can see a fault that was not reported without a separate explanation.
- Every shift, bring the load plan up to date and resolve an unstable pallet before the next cycle.
- Write the aisle clearance in plain language and mention a pedestrian in the path in the same note.
- If the put-away confirmation stalls, say so the same day and state what you already did about a pallet in the wrong bay.
- Keep the damage report on the truck clipboard, not in a personal folder.
- Treat the parking check as finished only after you have checked a truck left in a walkway.
Requirements
- Roughly 1 to 4 years of operating a powered industrial truck in a warehouse that matches this forklift operator profile, or a shorter record with the same kind of finished work.
- Practical skill with the truck type used on the site and a daily inspection in forklift operator work, not a certificate alone.
- Able to explain when you refuse a load to a colleague who was not in the room.
- Careful with skipping the pre-use check; this is checked in review of forklift operator work.
- For the forklift operator brief in Birmingham, hold the site authorisation required to operate a powered industrial truck in United Kingdom; the ticket name differs locally and is checked before any placement.
Nice to have
- Daily inspections is useful on forklift operator assignments in Birmingham, and it is not required.
- People who have already done stable-load judgement can start this forklift operator brief with less coaching.
- Pedestrian awareness is a plus for forklift operator work based in Birmingham.
