Job description

Forklift Driver LF + Dock hand - Dandenong

Forklift Operator / Dock Hand - Immediate Start | Dandenong

Location: Dandenong, VIC
Employment Type: Casual with ongoing opportunities

Workforce International is currently seeking reliable and experienced Forklift Operators to join a busy transport and logistics operation based in Dandenong.

This is a hands-on, dual-duty role involving both forklift operation and general dock hand duties. While a current LF licence and forklift experience are essential, successful candidates must also be comfortable undertaking manual dock work, as there may be times when dock hand duties make up more of the shift than forklift operation.

These are ongoing casual positions, with immediate starts available for suitable candidates.

The Role - Forklift Operator / Dock Hand

You will be responsible for loading and unloading freight, operating a forklift fitted with double tines and assisting with general dock operations. Dock hand duties involve manually unloading crates onto a conveyor belt and transferring freight from the conveyor into waiting trucks.

This is a physically demanding position requiring flexibility, a strong work ethic and the ability to move between forklift and manual handling duties as operational requirements change.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate a forklift fitted with double tines to load and unload trucks.
• Manually unload crates onto conveyor belts.
• Transfer freight from conveyor belts into waiting trucks.
• Assist with loading, unloading and moving freight throughout the warehouse and dock.
• Perform repetitive manual handling and lifting safely.
• Complete forklift pre-start checks and follow site operating procedures.
• Maintain a clean and organised work area.
• Work effectively as part of a team to meet operational deadlines.
• Follow all workplace health and safety requirements.

To Be Successful You Will Have

• A current LF Forklift Licence.
• Proven experience loading and unloading trucks.
• Experience operating forklifts with double tines.
• Previous warehouse, transport or dock hand experience.
• The ability and willingness to perform regular manual handling and labouring duties.
• Physical fitness to manage repetitive lifting throughout the shift.
• A strong commitment to workplace health and safety.
• Reliable attendance, good communication skills and a positive attitude.
• Flexibility to assist wherever required across the operation.

Please note: This is not a forklift-only position. Candidates must be willing to undertake dock hand shifts as a regular part of the role, which may at times be required more frequently than forklift operation.

What We Offer

• Immediate start available.
• Ongoing casual work with opportunities for long-term employment.
• Competitive hourly rates.
• Supportive team environment.
• Consistent work with an established transport and logistics company.
