Finding Certified Forklift Operators
At IRP, we recognise that having a Forklift Licence (LF) or Order Picker Licence (LO) is just the beginning. The LF licence, a High-Risk Licence issued by the Department of Commerce, involves a brief training course covering practical and theoretical aspects. However, this basic training often falls short for specialised equipment like side loaders, telehandlers, or 40-tonne container forklifts.
We prioritise candidates with not only the right licences but also the specific experience and skills necessary for your unique needs. Our detailed assessment process ensures we select operators who can handle various environments and tasks safely and effectively, whether it’s moving heavy steel pipes or managing complex warehouse operations. With IRP, we make it easy for you to get forklift drivers who not only have the correct licence, but also have the right experience so they are productive from day one.

The Solution
IRP goes well beyond traditional recruitment.

By partnering with IRP, you reduce the time and effort spent on recruitment, onboarding, and retention. Our recruitment team is dedicated to finding the right person for your needs and ensuring they fit seamlessly into your business.

We understand that warehouse forklift drivers are not the same as manufacturing forklift drivers. Our standard operating procedure is to come to your workplace and understand how you use forklifts and what you’re expecting from the successful candidate. That way we can properly assess and identify all the factors, nuances and unique requirements, leading to a much better chance of finding the right candidate for you.
