• 21.

00/hr | Chicago, IL 60617 (Far Southeast Side / near Hammond, IN)

Job Type:

Full-time, Temp-to-Hire (Start with Kelly Services for 3-6 months, with opportunity to be hired on permanently)

Shift:

Various 1st and 2nd Shifts (Let's discuss)

Schedule:

Off Sunday / Monday /

Tuesday Start:

ASAP (after screenings are completed) From the Desk of the Recruiter This is a strong fit for someone who already knows how to run a stand-up/reach truck in a fast-moving warehouse and does not need to be coached every hour on pace, safety, or accuracy. You'll be working onsite through Kelly in a modern food-grade 3PL warehouse supporting fresh food and beverage distribution. The site runs refrigerated, high-touch warehousing with WMS-backed inventory flow, cross-docking, case-pick style work, and shipping support in a temperature-controlled environment. The refrigerated storage zones operate around 34°F-40°F, so yes, this is a cold building all shift—not frozen, but always under 40 degrees. We're looking for reliable operators who can stay sharp in tight aisles, keep scans and counts clean, and show up on time every shift. If you live on the Southeast Side, South Suburbs or even NW Indiana, great. If not, that's fine too, qualified candidates with a realistic commute should still apply. Job Details
