High‑Bay Reach Truck Material Movement Specialist

  • Kansas City, MO
  • 21 - 21 USD Hourly

Step into a day on our warehouse floor

It’s 5:30 AM. You power up a reach truck, complete your safety check, and roll into high-bay aisles to pull the first orders of the day. Your RF handheld guides you to the right slots. You scan, pick, and stage pallets for outbound lanes. A rush order comes in—no problem. You swap to a cherry picker to grab a case from an upper tier, verify the load, and keep product flowing. By midday, you rotate to a turret truck to replenish locations, then confirm every Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) you use is safe and operable before your next task. Twelve hours go fast when you’re the reason everything moves on time.
