Materials Handler careers
Their duties often include unloading deliveries, inspecting materials for damage or defects, organizing stock in designated areas, and preparing materials for shipment. They use equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, and hand tools to move heavy or bulky items safely and efficiently.
