CALLING ALL COUNTERBALANCE OPERATORS WITH LINDE FORKLIFT OPERATION EXPERIENCE!!!

Our established and growing client in the 401 and Kennedy area is seeking an experienced LINDE Counterbalance Operator to join their team!
**Candidates MUST have experience operating LINDE brand forklifts in order to qualify for consideration!!!**

Ideal candidates should bring 3-5 years of experience operating ELECTRIC LINDE BRAND COUNTERBALANCE FORKLIFTS and must also have a VALID (EXTERNALLY CERTIFIED) FORKLIFT LICENSE.

This position requires operators to confidently maneuver forklifts through the facility while carrying unbalanced loads that can be double and triple-stacked.
Solid experience manipulating large, oddly shaped, and unbalanced loads or materials using forklifts is imperative in order to be successful in this position.
Operators must be confident driving backwards while carrying loads, as the constraints of the facility make this type of maneuver a regular requirement.

Candidates who have supported companies with YARD ENVIRONMENTS would be an excellent fit (note that this position is at an indoor facility, but there is a requirement to drive outdoors for short periods in order to remove large debris items to containers located outside)
