Forklift operators must provide proof that they meet the OSHA requirements for training and testing or demonstrate a significant history of operating a forklift. They must also be willing to assist with a pallet jack as well. Those without proof will be given an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to operate a lift.
HHWs are events sponsored by the local waste authorities that provide residents a place to drop off their household hazardous waste for proper disposal such as paint, oil, gas/thinners, pesticides, cleaners, pool chemicals, aerosol cans, propane, bulbs, batteries, etc. Our company, MXI Environmental Services, is a private company that bids on managing these events. We provide trucks, equipment, and staff to manage the collection of the waste, characterize it, pack it in proper UN rate containers, and load it to ship into permitted trucks. LOCATIONS VARY EVERY WEEKEND.
New staff would initially be responsible for helping move material with forklift or pallet jack and help load the truck. Operators are also expected to assist with the job by safely unloading waste from citizens' cars and safely transporting to a sortation area occupied by highly trained staff and, in addition, helping setup and breakdown the event. Forklift Operators are expected to stay later than most staff to help load the truck after the job.
Events take place on Saturdays and some Sundays. Hours vary but are generally 6:30am to 3pm. Pay begins at $250 for the day and can grow up to $350 per day with additional training and responsibilities.

If you cannot operate a forklift the Project Manager will determine if he will invite you back at that pay grade.
