Job Description

RJW Logistics Group is a leading company in the retail logistics industry committed to innovation, employee development, and operational excellence. As a strong player in the logistics and supply chain sector, RJW emphasizes the importance of its workforce, heralding that its people truly are the company’s future. The organization has fostered a culture where employees not only contribute to continual progress but also share in the financial success of the company through its unique Employee Ownership Program. This program empowers team members by offering them a stake in the company, fostering a sense of belonging, collaboration, and pride in the company’s achievements. The ownership opportunity is cost-free to employees and includes the distribution of shares annually based on salary, alongside compelling financial rewards resulting from share appreciation. RJW is dedicated to providing a supportive, inclusive, and dynamic work environment, making it an ideal place for people seeking career growth in logistics and warehouse operations.

The forklift operator position at RJW Logistics Group is a pivotal role that ensures the smooth handling and management of freight both inbound and outbound. The job requires operating sit-down forklifts and electric pallet jacks (EPJs) safely and efficiently while adhering to strict occupational health and safety standards. The operator is responsible for all facets of warehouse material handling—this includes loading, unloading, staging shipments, maintaining an orderly warehouse environment, and assisting in cross-dock freight processing. Accuracy and attention to detail are crucial, with expectations to verify shipments against paperwork rigorously and maintain excellent communication with supervisors and team members regarding any issues or incidents. The role demands a flexible attitude with the willingness to work varied shifts, occasional overtime, and the ability to perform physically demanding tasks such as lifting stock weights up to 50 pounds repeatedly.

Working at RJW means becoming part of a fast-paced, organized logistics operation where operational efficiency and safety are paramount. The role offers competitive compensation ranging from $20 to $21 per hour and operates across diverse shift schedules including 2nd Shift, D Shift, E Shift, and F Shift, providing flexible timing options to accommodate different lifestyles and preferences. The company also prides itself on its comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision insurance, retirement plans with matching contributions, paid time off, and multiple insurance options, all aimed at supporting employees’ health, wellbeing, and financial security.

Joining RJW means contributing to an industry-leading logistics team committed to excellence and innovation. Employees benefit not only from a stable and rewarding career with attractive pay and benefits but also from the opportunity to co-own and directly influence the company’s growth and success. This role is ideal for motivated individuals with some forklift operating experience and a strong work ethic who seek to thrive in a supportive, team-oriented environment.
