About the role

Combi-Lift Operator 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. 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

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
