When batching is quieter, you'll also pitch in around the plant with stock checks, housekeeping and general site support to help keep operations running smoothly.

• Monitoring raw material stock levels and ordering materials and additives as required
• Completing daily stock checks and supporting plant operations
• Assisting with general yard duties, housekeeping and site maintenance when required
• Supporting safe site operations and ensuring compliance with company procedures
• Operating a front-end loader on occasion to support site operations (when required)

What we're looking for:

We're looking for someone who can confidently manage a busy operation, communicate well with customers and drivers, and remain calm under pressure.

Essential

• Previous concrete batching experience (Command experience highly regarded)
• Strong phone-based customer service experience and confidence dealing with customers
• Excellent organisational and multitasking skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced operational environment
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• A proactive, hands-on approach and willingness to assist wherever needed

• Dispatch, scheduling or logistics coordination experience
• Forklift licence

Benefits:

• Join Adbri, an iconic Australian company - established in 1882, with 200+ plants, 8 brands and 5 joint ventures supplying essential construction materials nationwide!
• Structured learning and development pathways with real career progression opportunities
• Generous discounts including retail, fuel, car rental, Qantas Club and exclusive savings on Adbri products
