POSTED ON 1/9/2025

Bailey sold its first forklift in 1949. Since then, Bailey has been a family-owned and operated business dedicated to selling, leasing, renting, servicing, and providing parts for forklift trucks throughout the southeast.

Forklift Technicians troubleshoot mechanical and electrical equipment and perform repairs and preventive 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, and by duration on a daily basis. One day may require multiple quick fixes, and the next day involves a repair that takes the entire workday. The process includes diagnosing the problem, either fixing the problem or recommending an outsourced solution, such as battery replacement, and then completing the necessary paperwork.

  • Maintain and care for tools, equipment and vehicles. Notify management of the need for repairs or replacements.
  • Participate in job-related training, including supporting the safety program, and maintain licenses and certifications to avoid expirations.
  • Represent Bailey as a professional by maintaining a professional appearance, wearing a uniform, keeping the vehicle and work areas clean, and being courteous and informative with customers.
  • Handle other duties and special projects as assigned

What We Offer :

  • Competitive pay.
