Forklift Operator / Material Handler

Location: Humble, TX
Company: 1 Resource Group
Employment Type: Full-Time

1 Resource Group is seeking an experienced Forklift Operator / Material Handler for a fast-paced warehouse operation in Humble, TX.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience operating 15,000-pound capacity forklifts and safely moving large, heavy, and fragile equipment. This position requires an experienced operator who understands that moving oversized or high-value equipment takes more than basic forklift skills—it requires precision, excellent judgment, and a strong commitment to safety.

• Safely operate 15,000-lb. capacity forklifts and other material-handling equipment.
• Load and unload trucks, trailers, and containers safely and accurately.
• Transport, position, and stage large, heavy, and fragile equipment while preventing damage.
• Properly secure and stabilize loads before movement.
• Move and organize materials throughout the warehouse and staging areas.
• Receive incoming materials and verify quantities and condition.
• Pick, stage, and prepare materials and equipment for shipment.
• Assist with shipping and receiving operations.
• Inspect forklifts and material-handling equipment before and after use.
• Immediately report equipment damage, safety concerns, or maintenance needs.
• Inspect incoming and outgoing equipment for visible damage or discrepancies.
• Follow all company safety policies, procedures, and OSHA requirements.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work area.
• Assist with additional warehouse and material-handling duties as needed.

• Previous warehouse and material-handling experience.
• Proven forklift operating experience.
• Experience operating 15,000-lb. capacity forklifts strongly preferred.
• Experience handling large, oversized, heavy, or fragile equipment.
• Experience loading and unloading trucks and trailers.
• Ability to safely maneuver equipment in warehouse, dock, and staging areas.
• Strong understanding of load stability, weight distribution, and safe material-handling practices.
• Ability to perform daily forklift inspections and identify potential safety or maintenance issues.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to preventing equipment damage.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions.
• Dependable attendance and strong work ethic.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced team environment.

• Ability to stand, walk, bend, stoop, reach, push, and pull throughout the workday.
• Ability to regularly lift and move materials weighing up to 50 lbs.
• Ability to safely climb on and off forklift equipment throughout the shift.
• Ability to work in an active warehouse environment with varying temperatures and noise levels.

We are looking for an experienced forklift operator—not an entry-level operator. Candidates should be confident handling larger-capacity forklifts and understand the care required when moving heavy, fragile, and high-value equipment.

Safety, accuracy, and damage prevention are critical to this position.

If you have experience operating heavy-capacity forklifts and take pride in moving equipment safely and correctly the first time, we want to hear from you.
