When you work at Trex, you're helping to grow and enhance a true original. You join a company that boldly launched an entire industry... and still leads the way.

We are looking for a Forklift Operator to help us meet production and quality goals. As a Trex Forklift Operator, you'll be responsible for unloading goods and materials from incoming trucks, ensuring accuracy, speed, and adherence to safety protocols.

It's how we started and how we continue to lead the industry - finding intersections of opportunity and hard work, digging in, and digging deep. The result is progress, both for the company and for the people building their careers here. If you are values-driven and share our beliefs, if you are willing to hold yourself and others accountable to the highest standards, then Trex is a place you can call home.
