TELEHANDLER OPERATOR / SHIPPING & RECEIVING SPECIALIST Discount Pipe & Steel · Full-Time · On-Site · Steel Yard PAY & EARNING POTENTIAL Base: $16–$26/hour based on demonstrated skill Overtime: All hours over 40 paid at OT rate Annual earning potential: $75,000–$85,000+ --- READ THIS BEFORE YOU APPLY This is a straight-talk job posting because we want straight-talk candidates. We move steel every single day. The machines need to keep moving for us to make money and we need a person who understands that — someone who shows up ready, keeps the yard running, and takes ownership of their role without being told twice. If you want a comfortable 40-hour week with automatic raises and a manager who checks on you, this is not your job. If you want to earn real money, prove your value, and grow inside a company that is scaling fast — keep reading. WHAT A REAL WEEK LOOKS LIKE Monday through Friday, 12-hour days. Rotating Saturdays. All hours over 40 are paid at overtime. This is not a 40-hour-a-week job and we are not going to pretend it is. The yard moves every day and we need someone who moves with it. If you are the kind of person who gets restless when there is nothing to do, you will never have that problem here. PHYSICAL DEMANDS — BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF You will mount and dismount heavy equipment many times per shift in an outdoor steel yard in all weather conditions — heat, cold, rain. You will be on your feet and moving for a full 12-hour day. We need someone built for that pace every single day, not someone who can handle it occasionally. If this sounds like a normal day to you, great. If not, this role is not the right fit — and that is okay. WHAT YOU WILL OWN EVERY DAY Yard & Inventory Receive, tag, verify, and enter all incoming material into the system — no later than end of day Friday, every week Maintain accurate inventory locations and correct any discrepancy the moment you find it Keep the yard fully organized, clearly labeled, and in safe working order at all times Ensure zero mixing of material grades or categories — everything in its place, every time Stage all processed material within 48 hours of system entry Maintain clear staging lanes and traffic paths for trucks and equipment at all times Loading & Unloading Operate telehandler and wheel loader for all inbound and outbound truck loading and unloading Verify correct material, quantities, and staging locations on every single load Accurately document all bundle IDs when loading and staging Stage all pre-ordered outbound loads the same day the work order is received — no exceptions Machine Ownership — This Is Your Equipment, Treat It That Way Complete a thorough pre-shift inspection on your machine every single day before operation begins Grease all required fittings on the correct schedule — you know when it is due, you do not wait to be reminded Fuel the machine at the end of each shift so it is ready to go the next morning — no one else does this for you Identify and immediately report any mechanical issues, fluid leaks, warning lights, or safety concerns Keep the machine clean and in the same condition you would want to find it — every day, no exceptions HARD REQUIREMENTS — NO EXCEPTIONS 500+ documented hours on a telehandler or wheel loader (not just general forklift experience) Experience loading and unloading flatbed or commercial trucks with a telehandler or wheel loader Comfortable performing daily machine inspections, greasing, and fueling — no hand-holding required Reliable transportation and a proven track record of showing up on time, every day Comfortable with an iPad and inventory scanner — picks up technology quickly Background in shipping & receiving, yard operations, or inventory management Able to work outdoors year-round in all weather conditions Able to pass a background check and maintain a drug-free workplace WHO THRIVES HERE You treat the yard like it is yours — because in this role, it is You treat your machine the same way — with ownershi…
