About Us

It’s not just what you do at KFC. It’s the way you do it.

Here, everyone has a seat at our table. We feed our people’s potential to be Original – to be their best selves, make a difference and have some fun along the way.

As part of KFC South Pacific, you’ll join one of Australia’s most iconic brands and a business supporting more than 800 restaurants across Australia. Behind our restaurants is a team making sure they have the equipment and support they need to keep things running – and that’s where our Equipment Distribution Centre comes in.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As our new Assistant Warehouse Specialist, you’ll support the day-to-day operation of our Wetherill Park Equipment Distribution Centre (EDC), helping receive, store, prepare and deliver equipment, smallwares and spare parts to KFC restaurants and project sites.

This isn’t your typical warehouse role. Alongside hands‑on warehouse operations, you’ll help coordinate and deliver equipment for new restaurants, refurbishments and rollout programs – including occasional regional and interstate travel.

You’ll work closely with restaurants, contractors, builders and internal teams to make sure the right equipment gets to the right place, at the right time.

And the hours? The EDC operates Monday to Friday, 7:30am–4:00pm, with an early finish at 1:30pm every Friday – no regular weekend shifts.

A Day in the Life

• Pick, check and dispatch equipment, smallwares and spare parts for restaurants and project sites.
• Receive, inspect, unload and safely store incoming equipment and stock.
• Help coordinate and complete equipment deliveries for new restaurants, refurbishments and rollout programs.
• Load and unload trucks, vehicles and containers using forklifts and other warehouse equipment.
• Maintain accurate stock movements and assist with stocktakes and inventory management.
• Work with restaurants, contractors and project teams to coordinate smooth and timely deliveries.
• Keep the warehouse, yard, vehicles and equipment safe, organised and well maintained.
• Support servicing and maintenance of EDC vehicles, forklifts and warehouse equipment.
• Provide great service to our restaurants, franchisees and internal teams.
• Identify opportunities to make our warehouse and delivery operations safer and more efficient.
• Travel regionally or interstate, including occasional overnight stays, when required.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll enjoy being hands‑on, working as part of a team and having plenty of variety in your day. You’re organised, safety‑conscious and take pride in getting the details right.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• A current Forklift Licence (LF).
• Around two years’ experience in warehousing, logistics or distribution.
• Strong attention to detail and a practical, proactive approach.
• A commitment to safe working and manual handling practices.
• Good communication skills and a customer‑focused mindset.

• The ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
• Flexibility to undertake regional and interstate travel when required.
• Experience with equipment distribution, inventory or logistics coordination would be an advantage.
• A current HR (Heavy Rigid) Driver Licence would be highly regarded.
• If you’re looking for a warehouse role with a little more variety – where you can get out on the road, work with different teams and see the impact of what you do across KFC restaurants – we’d love to hear from you.
