Material Handling Equipment Service Specialist (Forklifts & Batteries)

It’s the start of first shift. You power up the CMMS, scan the overnight alerts, and head straight to the charging room to inspect battery stations and cars. A tug needs a drive-unit check, a stand-up lift calls for a PM within the manufacturer’s specs, and a scrubber requires a quick belt change and calibration. Midday, you assist a battery tech with a charger repair and an acid spill clean-up. Later, you lend a hand to the building and refrigeration teams on an electrical troubleshooting task. By day’s end, your skill keeps a fleet of forklifts safe, compliant, and ready for the next shift.

As an MHE Technician II–equivalent, you’ll oversee safe operation, repair, and preventative maintenance of material handling equipment: electric and propane industrial forklifts, pallet jacks, hi‑low lifts, scissor lifts, scrubbers/sweepers, battery charging stations and cars, and batteries. You’ll also support the Supervisor and Maintenance Manager so assets are managed in accordance with equipment and parts manufacturers, equipment and parts suppliers, EPA, OSHA, and applicable State and Local Codes.
