forklift driver

Pallet transport worker

A forklift driver operates a forklift—a small industrial vehicle with pronged forks at the front for lifting and moving heavy pallets and materials.

The job is common in warehouses, construction sites, and shipping facilities: We're hiring forklift drivers for the night shift.

Most jurisdictions require certification to operate the equipment.
