Hi Lift Operator information

What is a hi lift operator?

Hi Lift Operators are skilled workers responsible for operating high-lift machinery, such as forklifts or aerial lifts, to move, load, and unload materials in warehouses, construction sites, or industrial settings. Their main duties include ensuring the safe transport of goods, maintaining equipment, and adhering to safety regulations. Hi Lift Operators often need to be certified and trained in the proper use of lifting equipment. They play a crucial role in efficient material handling and workplace safety.

What are some common safety challenges faced by hi lift operators, and how are they addressed on the job?

Hi Lift Operators often encounter safety challenges such as navigating tight spaces, working in varying weather conditions, and handling heavy loads at significant heights. To address these, operators undergo rigorous safety training, follow strict operational protocols, and regularly inspect their equipment before use. Additionally, ongoing communication with ground crews and adherence to site-specific safety guidelines help minimize risks and ensure a safe working environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a hi lift operator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Hi Lift Operator, you need a solid understanding of heavy machinery operation, safety protocols, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with equipment controls, load management systems, and possession of relevant certifications such as OSHA forklift certification are typically required. Attention to detail, strong communication, and the ability to work well under pressure are valuable soft skills in this position. These competencies ensure safe, efficient material handling and prevent workplace accidents in industrial and construction environments.

What is the difference between Hi Lift Operator vs Forklift Operator?

AspectHi Lift OperatorForklift Operator

Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, warehouses, industrial settingsWarehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers
Job DutiesOperating high-lift equipment for lifting and moving materialsOperating forklifts to load, unload, and transport goods
Industry UsageConstruction, heavy industryLogistics, warehousing, manufacturing

Both Hi Lift Operators and Forklift Operators operate heavy equipment to move materials, but they differ mainly in the type of machinery used and work environments. Hi Lift Operators focus on high-lift equipment often used in construction, while Forklift Operators work primarily with forklifts in warehouses and distribution centers. Certifications are required for both roles, making them similar in credential requirements but distinct in operational focus.

Why This Job Is Worth Considering

Hi-Tek Manufacturing has been machining precision components for the aerospace and gas turbine industries out of Mason, Ohio since 1980, running conventional CNC machining alongside EDM, laser, grinding, and welding under one roof. As the shop's EDM Applications Engineer, you'll work directly with the Applications Engineering Manager as the go-to subject matter expert for the EDM process — developing and improving parameters, helping Manufacturing Engineers translate prints and specs into shop-floor instructions, and training and leading Operators on the floor. It's a technical role with real visibility: Manufacturing Engineers, Quality Engineers, and leadership come to you for EDM answers, and you'll help coordinate on-site OEM training as part of the job.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Develop and improve EDM parameters for new and existing projects
  • Apply G and M code programming knowledge to support project improvement and development
  • Help Manufacturing Engineers convert engineering drawings and specifications into precise manufacturing operations and quality instructions for Operators
  • Train and share EDM process knowledge with Operators on the shop floor
  • Set up and run machines and processes to process jobs to drawings and specs
  • Participate in and help coordinate on-site OEM training
  • Participate in proactive team efforts to reach departmental and company goals
  • Take ownership of new and different requests, looking for ways to add value

Machines & Software

  • EDM: Mitsubishi and/or Sodick
  • Programming: G and M code
  • CAM software: Siemens NX

What We're Looking ForRequired

  • Bachelor's degree (B.A./B.S.) from a four-year college or university, or 3–5 years of related experience/training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Comfortable working with standard math concepts (fractions, percentages, ratios, and proportions) in practical shop situations
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook
  • Experience with Siemens NX
  • Experience with Mitsubishi and/or Sodick EDM
  • Strong communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills
  • Proven analytical and organizational ability
  • Proactive thinking and problem-solving ability
  • Able to operate autonomously and self-direct
  • Able to meet U.S. person / ITAR work-authorization requirements — Hi-Tek is ITAR-registered and works directly with DoD and aerospace OEM customers

Physical Demands

  • Lift, push, and pull up to 35 pounds
  • Bend, crouch, and reach at least 50% of scheduled shift

Pay, Benefits & Schedule

$100,000–$140,000 per year, based on experience. Full-time, on-site in Mason, Ohio. Relocation assistance is not offered for this role.
