2nd shift (3:00PM – 11:00PM) | Full-Time | Competitive Pay Overtime Opportunities  

Build Something You Can Hold in Your Hands  

At Sheridan, your work doesn't disappear into a spreadsheet—it becomes books, catalogs, magazines, and printed materials used by people across the country. 

We're looking for dependable, hardworking individuals who are ready to learn, grow, and build a long-term career in print manufacturing. No print industry experience? No problem. We'll provide the training you need to succeed. 

What You'll Do

As a Forklift/Material Handler, you'll help keep our printing operation running smoothly by:

  • Operate forklifts, clamp trucks, and other equipment to move raw materials, in-process goods, and finished products
  • Load and unload trucks, railcars, pallets, and skids
  • Perform daily safety checks on lifts and equipment
  • Maintain accurate inventory records and report discrepancies
  • Organize and assign storage space within the warehouse
  • Perform minor maintenance tasks such as recharging batteries or replacing fuel tanks
  • Support special projects and other warehouse duties as assigned

What We're Looking For

You don't need years of experience—we'll provide training! We're looking for someone who:

  • Has a high school diploma or GED
  • Can follow written and verbal instructions
  • Has basic math and reading skills
  • Enjoys working as part of a team
  • Is dependable, motivated, and ready to learn
  • Can safely lift and move materials and work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
  • Proven experience operating forklifts and clamp trucks in a warehouse or manufacturing environment
  • Ability to operate equipment in tight spaces, including narrow aisles, ramps, and railcars

Warehouse or manufacturing experience is a plus but not required.

 

Physical Requirements

This is an active, hands-on position. You'll spend much of your day standing, walking, lifting, and moving materials. You should be comfortable:

  • Frequently lift, carry, push, and pull materials up to 20 pounds
  • Occasionally lift, carry, push, and pull materials up to 50 pounds
  • Stand and walk for most of the shift. 
  • Perform repetitive bending, reaching, twisting, and material handling activities throughout the shift. 
  • Work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with moving equipment and varying noise levels. 
  • Wear required personal protective equipment (PPE), including hearing protection and safety footwear. 

Why Join Sheridan?

  • Stable, full-time career with a growing company 
  • Comprehensive benefits after 30 days, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k). 
  • Paid time off and paid holidays. 
  • Overtime opportunities. 
  • Employee referral bonus program. 
  • Employee discounts and wellness resources. 
  • Safety-focused culture with PPE provided and safety shoe reimbursement. 
  • On-the-job training and opportunities for career advancement.
