Material Handler / Driver 

Keep the materials moving behind world-class water features.

At WET, we transform water, light, fire, ice, and fog into unforgettable experiences. From The Fountains of Bellagio to The Dubai Fountain, our projects depend on materials arriving safely, being organized efficiently, and moving smoothly through the shop.

We are looking for a dependable Material Handler / Driver to support our Burbank fabrication operations.

If you take pride in accurate material flow, safe equipment operation, and a well-run workspace, this is an opportunity to be an essential part of a production team building the foundation for extraordinary work.

Your impact

You will keep materials moving efficiently from receiving through production. Your safe driving, careful handling, organization, and attention to detail directly support production schedules and the quality of WET’s finished assemblies.

This is a role for someone who works independently, communicates clearly, and understands that safety, organization, and reliability are never optional.

• Operate a company truck to pick up, deliver, and transport materials as required.

• Load, unload, stage, and organize materials according to production needs and established procedures.
• Maintain an organized, clean, and safe material yard and staging areas.
• Verify materials, quantities, and locations; accurately document receiving and movement activities as required.
• Monitor material inventory and notify the supervisor when stock levels are low and reordering is needed.
• Use pallet jacks and other material-handling equipment to move items safely and efficiently.
• Perform routine equipment checks, including startup, shutdown, inspection, lubrication of critical points, and minor repairs.
• Follow all established safety procedures, company policies, and work conduct requirements.
• Support other shop areas, equipment, and production tasks as directed.

What you bring

• Five or more years of experience driving a company truck and operating a forklift in a production or manufacturing environment.
• Three or more years of material handling experience using forklifts, company trucks, and pallet jacks.
• Clean DMV driving record with a Class 3 license.
• Strong spatial awareness and ability to safely maneuver equipment in a busy shop environment.
• Ability to read and follow material lists, work orders, and verbal instructions.
• Self-motivated, dependable, and comfortable working independently.
• Clear communication skills, including the ability to understand and respond to radio messages, equipment alarms, and verbal instructions.
• Willingness to cross-train and support other shop areas as needed.

Additional requirements

• Forklift certification is required; WET can provide onsite certification as needed.
• Ability to lift and move items weighing 50 pounds or more, with reasonable accommodation as applicable.
• Ability to stand and remain active for a minimum of eight hours per day.
• Availability to work overtime and weekends as production needs require.
