Sit-Down Forklift Operator

$18.50/hr | $27.75/hr Overtime | 3-4 Day Workweek

Westaff is hiring experienced Sit-Down Forklift Operators for a steady, ongoing warehouse position on the southwest side of Indianapolis, near the airport and south of Plainfield.

If you like the idea of working 3 or 4 days per week instead of 5, this schedule offers a great balance. You’ll work 12-hour shifts, get consistent hours, and have 3 to 4 days off every week.

There is also potential for temp-to-hire, plus additional overtime may become available during the busy season leading up to Christmas.

Pay & Schedule

• Regular Pay: $18.50/hour
• Overtime Pay: $27.75/hour
• Hours: 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM
• 3-4 scheduled days per week
• Schedule is either Sunday-Wednesday or Wednesday-Saturday
• Four-day weeks include overtime hours
• Additional overtime may be available during peak season
• Steady, ongoing position
• Potential temp-to-hire opportunity

Why You Might Like This Job

More days off:
Work longer shifts, but only 3 or 4 days per week, giving you 3 to 4 full days off.

Built-in overtime:
When you’re scheduled for a four-day week, hours over 40 are paid at the $27.75/hour overtime rate.

Consistent schedule:
You’ll know your regular workdays instead of dealing with a schedule that changes every week.

Steady work:
This is an ongoing warehouse position rather than a short-term project.

Opportunity to get hired on:
There is potential for this position to become temp-to-hire for the right employee.
