Job description

For over 90 years, Fulton Hogan has been delivering high-quality infrastructure to improve the lives of people every day. Our 10,000+ team works in a range of environments, creating, connecting, and caring for communities across Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.

What’s on offer?

Our Infrastructure Services business is seeking a permanent, full-time Asphalt Plant Operator to join the team at our Mackay facility. This role primarily involves asphalt production, including manual labour, and operating production equipment. During busy periods, there will be opportunities for additional shifts, including nights, and weekends.

Previous experience in asphalt production is preferred, but candidates from related industries are encouraged to apply. Training and support will be provided.

To be successful in this role, you will need to:

• Demonstrate a strong commitment to safety, quality, and environmental standards.

• Be a focused, and reliable team player.

• Be able to multi-task effectively.

• Hold a current Construction Induction Card (White Card) and valid drivers’ licence.

• Have experience operating a front-end loader and/or skid steer.

• Have experience working in asphalt plants.

• Looking for a company that places people at the heart of everything? Our Living Safely culture ensures that we care for ourselves, each other and the communities that we work in.

• Keen to progress your career? We invest in our people’s career development and provide pathways in the form of apprenticeships, traineeships, or certificate(s) opportunities. If additional tickets and licenses are required, we can help with that too.

• Never worked in our industry before? We open new doors for people with transferable skills and experiences, helping them to thrive in the world of infrastructure construction. Where applicable, we provide training and support to help you succeed in the role.

• Looking to enhance your wellbeing? We offer benefits, including corporate health and fitness programs, health insurance discounts, personal banking support, a range of retailer discounts, and access to our Employee Assistance Program (including your immediate family).

• Want to help us better the communities we live and work in? Our purpose of creating, connecting, and caring for communities is more than a saying to us - it’s a way of thinking, working, and living because we’re locals too, and seek to give back in ways that strengthen and build resilient communities.

Our people share the same set of values that keep us REAL. Respect, Energy and Effort, Attitude and Leadership are what we stand for at Fulton Hogan and encourage us to foster a diverse and inclusive culture where we listen to, care for, celebrate, and respect everyone.

We are committed to reconciliation and building and nurturing respectful relationships with First Nations peoples. Through our First Nations Engagement Strategy and Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we aim to promote opportunities, cultural understanding and partnerships that celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of Indigenous communities.

If you’re not sure that you meet 100% of the selection criteria, that’s okay, we would still like to hear from you and potentially discuss how your skills could be utilised at Fulton Hogan.
