Job Description
As a Forklift/Material Handler, you will support a fast-paced automotive manufacturing operation by assisting across multiple departments as business needs change.

- Must be dependable, punctual, team-oriented, and flexible to work in different departments based on daily business needs; must be able to train on 1st shift and transition to the scheduled 2nd shift in September.
