Job Description

Bailey sold its first forklift in 1949. Since then Bailey has been a family-owned and operated business dedicated to selling, leasing, renting, servicing, and providing parts for forklift trucks throughout the southeast.

Description

Forklift Technicians troubleshoot mechanical and electrical equipment, and perform repairs and preventive maintenance work based on customer needs and requirements. They are dedicated to customer satisfaction, responding in a timely, polite and professional manner. Technician assignments vary by task, by tools required, and by duration on a daily basis. One day may require multiple quick fixes, and the next day involves a repair that takes the entire workday.
