Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Senior Warehouse & Plant Operator to join our integrated production and manufacturing facility. In this role, you will be a key anchor for our internal logistics, responsible for moving high-value stone slabs through various critical processing and manufacturing phases.

This is a position for a seasoned professional. Because our facility functions as a full-scale processing plant, you will be utilizing overhead cranes and heavy-duty forklifts as a primary, daily function of your workflow. We are looking for someone who brings a deep understanding of the unique handling requirements of the stone sector and pairs it with an uncompromised commitment to workplace safety.

Key Responsibilities • Precision Material Handling: Safely and efficiently transport stone and marble slabs across different production lines, machinery stations, and storage zones.

• Advanced Machinery Operation: Serve as a primary operator for overhead gantry cranes, heavy-duty forklifts, and standard forklifts to maneuver fragile, heavy, and oversized materials.


• Production Continuity: Coordinate closely with the manufacturing team to ensure that stone-processing phases are continuously supplied with the correct materials, minimizing plant downtime.


• Inventory Oversight: Monitor incoming slabs and finished products, verifying quality, dimensions, and proper storage placement within the plant.


• Safety Leadership: Enforce and adhere to strict safety protocols regarding heavy load suspension and machinery operation; assist in mentoring junior operators on safe handling techniques.

Qualifications & Experience • Industry Experience: Several years of proven, hands-on experience specifically within the stone/marble industry or in industrial environments requiring the constant movement of large, fragile slab materials.

• Technical Expertise: Demonstrated mastery in operating overhead cranes and various types of forklifts.


• Education: A specific academic diploma is not mandatory, provided you have a strong, verifiable track record of successful experience in similar plant environments.


• Key Skills: Deep understanding of load capacities, rigging techniques for overhead cranes, and spatial awareness in a busy production environment. Fluency in Italian is required for seamless plant coordination.

What We Offer • Stability & Growth: A long-term career opportunity within a fully equipped, state-of-the-art stone manufacturing facility.

• Professional Environment: A supportive team culture that highly values specialized craftsmanship and technical expertise.
