LINDE Counterbalance Forklift Operator

CALLING ALL COUNTERBALANCE OPERATORS WITH 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 COUNTERBALANCE FORKLIFTS and must also have a VALID (EXTERNALLY CERTIFIED) FORKLIFT LICENSE.

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)
