## Description

### Forklift Operator / Material Handler

**Location:** Humble, TX  
**Company:** 1 Resource Group  
**Employment Type:** Full-Time

### Position Overview

**1 Resource Group is seeking an experienced Forklift Operator / Material Handler** for a fast-paced warehouse operation in Humble, TX.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience operating **15,000-pound capacity forklifts** and safely moving **large, heavy, and fragile equipment**. This position requires an experienced operator who understands that moving oversized or high-value equipment takes more than basic forklift skills—it requires precision, excellent judgment, and a strong commitment to safety.

### Key Responsibilities

-   Safely operate **15,000-lb. capacity forklifts** and other material-handling equipment.
-   Load and unload trucks, trailers, and containers safely and accurately.

-   Properly secure and stabilize loads before movement.
-   Move and organize materials throughout the warehouse and staging areas.
-   Receive incoming materials and verify quantities and condition.
-   Pick, stage, and prepare materials and equipment for shipment.
-   Assist with shipping and receiving operations.
-   Inspect forklifts and material-handling equipment before and after use.
-   Immediately report equipment damage, safety concerns, or maintenance needs.
-   Inspect incoming and outgoing equipment for visible damage or discrepancies.
-   Follow all company safety policies, procedures, and OSHA requirements.
-   Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work area.
-   Assist with additional warehouse and material-handling duties as needed.

## Requirements

-   Previous **warehouse and material-handling experience**.
-   Proven forklift operating experience.
-   **Experience operating 15,000-lb. capacity forklifts strongly preferred.**
-   Experience handling **large, oversized, heavy, or fragile equipment**.
-   Experience loading and unloading trucks and trailers.
-   Ability to safely maneuver equipment in warehouse, dock, and staging areas.
-   Strong understanding of load stability, weight distribution, and safe material-handling practices.
-   Ability to perform daily forklift inspections and identify potential safety or maintenance issues.
-   Strong attention to detail and commitment to preventing equipment damage.
-   Ability to follow written and verbal instructions.
-   Dependable attendance and strong work ethic.
-   Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced team environment.

### Physical Requirements

-   Ability to stand, walk, bend, stoop, reach, push, and pull throughout the workday.
-   Ability to regularly lift and move materials weighing up to **50 lbs.**
-   Ability to safely climb on and off forklift equipment throughout the shift.
-   Ability to work in an active warehouse environment with varying temperatures and noise levels.

### What We're Looking For

We are looking for an **experienced forklift operator—not an entry-level operator**. Candidates should be confident handling larger-capacity forklifts and understand the care required when moving **heavy, fragile, and high-value equipment**.

Safety, accuracy, and damage prevention are critical to this position.

If you have experience operating heavy-capacity forklifts and take pride in moving equipment **safely and correctly the first time**, we want to hear from you.

**Apply today for immediate consideration with 1 Resource Group.**
