About the company
Unimacts is a leader in contract manufacturing and supply chain management for the solar and wind sectors, with operations spanning the U.S., Mexico, Spain, India, and China. Backed by top-tier venture capital and fueled by growth from the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re scaling fast in renewable energy manufacturing.
About This Role
This is not a standard forklift position. Unimacts is seeking an experienced Combi-Lift Operator to handle the movement of oversized, wide-load cargo (components exceeding 20 feet in width) at our growing Sloan, Nevada facility. This role requires specialized expertise in operating 5-ton and 10-ton combi-lift equipment, distinct from standard forklift operation, and is critical to the safe handling of large-scale solar and wind components.
We’re looking for candidates with backgrounds in heavy equipment operation, port/marine cargo handling, oversized freight and logistics, wind turbine blade or component transport, or heavy construction equipment, in addition to traditional industrial forklift experience.
We seek Combi-lift operators for 1st (5AM-3:30PM) and 2nd (3:30PM-2AM) shifts at our Sloan, NV location.
Key Responsibilities
•
Operate 5-ton and 10-ton combi-lift equipment to safely move oversized cargo (20+ feet wide) through loading docks, processing zones, and storage areas
•
Assess load dimensions, weight distribution, and clearance requirements before every lift, given the scale of the materials handled
•
Position and secure oversized loads, accounting for wider turning radii, extended mast reach, and non-standard load balance
•
Coordinate closely with ground crew and spotters during moves, given the reduced visibility and larger footprint of combi-lift operation
•
Load/unload oversized components from flatbeds, specialized trailers, or rail cars
•
Inspect loads and equipment before and after transport to ensure structural integrity and compliance
•
Perform routine maintenance: cleaning, lubrication, battery/fuel management, and basic mechanical upkeep specific to combi-lift machinery
•
Maintain accurate records of weights, dimensions, and movement logs for oversized materials
•
Identify and report mechanical issues or safety concerns specific to heavy-capacity lifting equipment
Requirements
•
Proven experience operating combi-lifts, side-loaders, or comparable heavy-capacity/oversized-load equipment (5-ton minimum, 10-ton preferred)
