Forklift Technicians are responsible for troubleshooting mechanical and electrical equipment and performing necessary repairs and scheduled maintenance work based on customer needs and requirements. They are dedicated to customer satisfaction, responding in a timely, polite and professional manner. Technician assignments vary by task, by tools required, by complexity of the work, and by duration on a daily basis. One day may require multiple quick fixes, and the next day may involve a repair that takes the entire work day. Some jobs may require lifting up to 50 pounds with or without an accommodation. A Technician's work typically includes diagnosing a problem, either fixing the problem or recommending an outsourced solution, such as battery replacement, and then completing any necessary paperwork.
