Material Handler Jobs in South Dakota

A Material Handler in the manufacturing industry is responsible for managing the movement, storage, and control of materials within a manufacturing facility. This includes receiving, transporting, stocking, and delivering materials within the facility. They also maintain inventory records, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. They often operate heavy machinery like forklifts and pallet jacks to accomplish their tasks. Material Handlers play an integral role in maintaining the flow of materials which is essential in a manufacturing production line.

Certification as a forklift operator may be required, and prior experience in a similar role is often preferred. A person may have roles such as Warehouse Associate, Forklift Operator, or Inventory Clerk before becoming a Material Handler.
