Forklift Operator

Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced forklift operator to join our growing team at Anderson Sod Farm, the premier bluegrass sod provider in Northeast Wisconsin! Our forklifts are heavy duty, rough-terrain, tractor-style lifts as they typically operate in a farm field, not a warehouse setting. Previous farm and/or forklift experience is a big plus for this day shift only, seasonal position. Our season typically runs from mid-April through mid-November, weather dependent. Off in the winter. Sod needs to be loaded onto our delivery trucks to go out to customer jobsites and pick-up orders must be loaded into customer vehicles in a timely manner. Work outdoors, get plenty of fresh air, and exercise while getting paid. Starting pay based on experience. Let's grow together!
