A logistics operator serving textile and metal plants keeps a cross dock in the Rechica zone outside Kumanovo and needs forklift drivers for its loading bays. Loads go out to Serbia and to the port of Thessaloniki. Permanent contract from the first day.
About role
You run a counterbalance diesel truck and a reach truck, unload curtainsiders at the bay, take the pallets to their racking position and feed the loading lane in the order the dispatcher calls. Before the first lift you check the forks, the mast chains, the horn and the fuel or battery level and write the check into the machine log. A damaged pallet or torn shrink wrap is reported before the goods go up on the racking, not after. Two shifts run 07:00-15:00 and 15:00-23:00, and Saturday loading is voluntary and paid separately.
