Forklift Operator Onions (Great team!)

Grab a coffee, start your forklift and get those onions moving! As a Forklift Operator, you make sure 150,000 tons of onions are moved safely and quickly to the right place every year.

You drive your forklift through the warehouse and move full crates of onions. A truck arrives? You unload the shipment and make sure everything is stored safely and neatly. When production needs onions, you deliver them to the right place on time.

You can choose between day shifts or a 2-shift schedule: 07:30-16:30 and 16:30-01:30. During the evening shift, a warm meal is provided. So you stay sharp and keep the entire onion operation moving.
