With an expanding presence across Australia, New Zealand, and select international markets, Stratco is committed to delivering high-quality products, trusted partnerships and exceptional customer experiences.

Are you the type of person who likes to get stuck in, stay active, and finish the day knowing you've accomplished something?

We're looking for a reliable, safety-focused Forklift Loader to join our busy Ormeau site. This is not your average loader role. You'll be working with large roofing, steel and rainwater products, preparing customer orders, coordinating stock movement, and helping keep our operation running smoothly.

• Preparing roofing, steel and rainwater products for dispatch
• Loading and unloading trucks safely and efficiently
• Operating forklifts and other materials handling equipment
• Keeping the yard organised, clean and running smoothly
• Working closely with transport, production and customer service teams

Why You'll Love It Here

• Full-time permanent opportunity
• Early 5:00am starts means earlier finishes
• Stable, growing Australian business
• Supportive team culture where everyone pitches in
• On-the-job training and development
• Forklift work combined with a variety of hands-on tasks
• No sitting behind a desk

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in a logistics, manufacturing, trade or yard environment
• Forklift licence and experience
• Physically fit and capable of manual handling
• Strong attention to safety
• Reliable, punctual and team-oriented
• Someone who takes pride in doing the job properly

This Role Would Suit

• Forklift operators looking for more variety
• Warehouse team members seeking a more active role
• Trades assistants or labourers wanting stable full-time work
• Yard hands, storepersons or dispatch team members
• Early risers who enjoy working in a fast-paced environment
