The opportunity

Help shape what comes next at Caterpillar as a Forklift Operator working on general that reaches real users. For someone with 1 years and a proudly-imperfect edge, this Forklift Operator job offers $40,000 - $59,000 and real upward mobility.

Key Responsibilities

  • Document the why, not just the what, behind every Communication decision
  • Carry the Prioritization thread across three time zones and two tools
  • Champion a positive, collaborative culture throughout the Sterling Heights, MI office
  • Use Facilitation to streamline routine tasks and free up capacity
  • Push back, respectfully, when a Prioritization shortcut will cost us later
  • Execute core Forklift Operator duties with accuracy and consistency

What You'll Bring

  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
  • Experience at the junior level inside a hybrid role
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions

Caterpillar is the sharp-but-gentle company general professionals across MI reach for when the cheap option finally breaks. Transparency is a habit, so roadmaps, tradeoffs, and even mistakes get shared openly.

Expect $40,000 - $59,000, a hybrid Sterling Heights office, generous PTO, and leaders who treat your development as a real priority.
