A terminal in the Viinikkala logistics zone beside Helsinki Vantaa airport is hiring forklift drivers for goods receiving and replenishment. The building handles air freight and retail pallets around the clock. The contract is permanent and the reach truck training is given on site.
About role
You unload trailers with a counterbalance truck, check the pallet count and the consignment note against the arrival list and move the load to the receiving lane. From there you put pallets away with a reach truck up to the eighth level, record every location in the warehouse system and bring replenishment pallets down to the picking faces before the shift changes. You check the truck at the start of every shift, note any fault in the daily log and change the battery at the charging room. Two shifts run 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00 with a weekly rotation.
