Material Handler job description
68 verified openings in Material Handler
Laborers and freight, stock, and material movers are one of the largest occupations in the country, 2,940,300 jobs by the 2025 BLS count, paying $40,240 at the median for May 2025. Material handlers move freight and stock between docks, staging lanes, production lines, and racking, by hand and with pallet jacks. BLS calls the work physically demanding and repetitive, and reports that this group carries one of the highest rates of injuries and illnesses of any occupation. No formal educational credential is typically required and training lasts a month or less. Many handlers add an employer forklift certification under OSHA 1910.178, which is what moves them onto equipment and into a better paid code.

Handler postings sit in the feed above beside the rest of the material moving work this board carries, all of it checked live, and the entry bar stays a willingness to learn on the floor. Anyone hiring is writing into roughly 904,200 openings a year across hand laborers and material movers, so an ad has to earn its read. Give the lift weight, the shift, the environment, and whether the site pays for lift certification. Warehousing and trucking pay this job better than staffing agencies do, so if that is your setting, put it in the first line.
