Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
Behavioral
Tell me about a time you noticed an area was out of place or abnormal on the floor. What did you do about it?
real familiarity with 5S visual management, not just knowing the term
Describe a time you caught a mistake before it became a bigger problem, maybe a mispick, a mislabel, or a count that was off.
attention to detail and ownership of quality, which the posting stresses heavily
Tell me about a time you had to communicate a problem to your supervisor or team. How did you explain it?
clarity of verbal and written communication for a role with limited outside contact
Tell me about a time you had to work closely with a production line to keep materials flowing. What made that work or not work?
ability to coordinate with production and prioritize under demand pressure
What does good attendance mean to you, and how have you handled situations in past jobs where getting to work on time was hard?
reliability, since the posting explicitly calls out attendance expectations
Technical
Tell me about your experience operating a forklift. What types have you run, and how many hours would you say you have on one?
whether the candidate has real, sufficient forklift experience to meet the Material Handler II bar
Have you used an ERP system to enter, track, or transact materials before? Which one, and what did you use it for day to day?
actual hands-on ERP experience versus just having heard of one
How do you go about doing a daily forklift inspection, and what would make you take a forklift out of service?
knowledge of required daily equipment checks and safety judgment
Situational
Walk me through how you'd pick a part for an assembly line order and get it there on time without slowing production down.
understanding of the picking-to-delivery workflow and how it ties to keeping the line running
Suppose you get to an assembly area and the part you brought doesn't match what's on the order. What do you do next?
problem-solving instincts and whether they escalate appropriately versus guessing
What does working under general supervision mean to you, and how do you handle a shift when your lead isn't immediately available?
comfort with the described level of independence and judgment about when to act versus wait
This job runs 11pm to 7am. Tell me about your experience working overnight shifts and how you manage staying sharp and safe that late.
realistic fit with third shift demands, fatigue management, and honesty about attendance
Give me an example of a problem you couldn't solve on your own. Who did you go to, and how did you frame the issue for them?
whether they know their own limits and escalate constructively rather than guess or ignore issues
