Forklift Operator
Trade & Transport · Sofia, Bulgaria
JB-521 · Basic (A2) · 5 openings
A distribution centre in the Busmantsi zone by the Sofia ring road is adding five forklift drivers to its two shift operation. Counterbalance and reach trucks, scanner picking, and a permanent contract with transport from the city.
About role
You unload trailers, put pallets away in racking up to nine metres, and pull orders against the scanner list. Before the shift you walk around the truck, check forks, chains, tyres and the horn, and sign the daily check sheet. During the shift you keep the aisles clear, wrap and label finished pallets, and report any damaged pallet or blocked location to the shift leader instead of forcing it. Battery changes and charging are part of the job. Two shifts rotate weekly, 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00, with Saturday only in a peak week.

Valid forklift licence, category Tvk or equivalent
At least one year on a counterbalance truck, reach truck is a plus
Careful stacking at height and in narrow aisles
Scanner and simple warehouse system entries
Two shift rotation, five days a week
