Forklift Operator / Cooler Machine Operator - 1st Shift

Our Kemps Cedarburg plant has an immediate opening for a fast paced and motivated split position warehouse operator to join our cooler team. Two days a week, this person would function as a fork lift operator or as we call them, a Gripper.  Grippers function similarly to forklifts in terms of operator positioning and controls, but instead of forks, they have pads on the sides to "grip" stacks of milk crates. We are seeking someone who can safely transport milk to various areas of our warehouse, following directions from the computer mounted on the equipment. This position requires precision, equipment handling skills, and a strong focus on safety.  The other 2 days per week this person would be a machine operator in our cooler operating our caser / stacker.  This machine puts milk into milk creates and stacks them and releases them to the cooler.  

It takes an incredible team to deliver the goodness of dairy and enrich our communities – come join us!
