Description du poste

Workforce Extensions Geelong is currently seeking reliable, hands‑on individuals for ongoing opportunities within the construction and manufacturing industries across the Geelong region.

We're looking for people who enjoy variety in their working day and are equally comfortable working within a factory, workshop or yard environment as they are heading out to active job sites.

Depending on your previous experience and licences, there may also be opportunities to operate plant and equipment or assist with deliveries between sites.

For the right candidates, there are genuine opportunities for consistent full‑time hours and longer‑term employment.
