Grit Auctions

About the Role

Grit Auctions is a fast-growing Colorado auction company specializing in heavy equipment, vehicles, and commercial liquidations. We’re looking for a dependable, safety-focused Warehouse Associate / Forklift Operator to support day-to-day yard operations and auction load-outs.

This is not a typical warehouse role—you’ll be working with a wide variety of equipment in an active, outdoor environment where reliability and attention to detail matter.

What You’ll Do

• Operate forklifts and yard equipment to move, stage, and load inventory
• Load and unload trucks, trailers, and shipping containers
• Organize and maintain auction yard layout for efficient operations
• Assist with auction load-out days (verify paid invoices, coordinate pickups, interact with customers)
• Prepare items for auction (staging, organization, ensuring readiness)
• Track and verify inventory for accuracy
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized yard
• Follow all safety procedures and equipment guidelines

What We’re Looking For

• Forklift experience required (higher pay tier for strong operators)
• Experience in construction, equipment yards, or outdoor labor strongly preferred
• Ability to lift heavy items and stay active throughout the day
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety
• Reliable, punctual, and accountable
• Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
• Ability to think on your feet in a fast-paced environment

Compensation & Growth

• $20–$28/hour depending on experience and capability
• Higher pay reserved for candidates with proven equipment experience and strong performance
• Overtime opportunities during auction cycles
• Opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding company

Why Work at Grit Auctions

• Work around heavy equipment, vehicles, and unique inventory
• Fast-paced environment—no two days are the same
• Straightforward, hard-working team culture
• Growing business with real opportunity to advance

Apply If You Are

• Someone who shows up early and takes ownership of your work
• Comfortable operating equipment and working with your hands
• Looking for a stable role where performance is recognized
