Overview

We\'re currently looking for experienced High Reach Forklift Operators to join a large-scale food and FMCG distribution operation based in Yennora, Western Sydney. This is a permanent, full-time opportunity within a modern multi-temperature warehouse environment supporting the storage, handling, and national distribution of chilled, frozen, and ambient food products supplied to major supermarket, retail, and foodservice networks across Australia.

The site operates as a high-volume cold-chain logistics and warehousing facility with a strong focus on safety, inventory accuracy, food quality standards, and supply chain efficiency. With structured systems, well-maintained equipment, and clear operational processes in place, this is an excellent opportunity for operators seeking long-term stability within a professionally run FMCG environment.

This role suits operators who want stable work, consistent hours, and a well-run site where safety, structure, and teamwork actually matter.

What’s on offer

• Permanent full-time position with stable, ongoing hours
• Competitive salary: $66K – $70K + cold storage allowance
• Modern, clean warehouse with well-maintained forklifts and equipment
• Strong safety-first culture with clear processes and support
• Structured onboarding and a reliable team environment
• Long-term opportunity within a stable FMCG operation

What you\'ll be doing

• High reach and counterbalance forklift operations (replenishment, picking, put away)
• Safe loading and unloading of inbound/outbound trucks
• Working across ambient, chilled, and frozen storage areas
• RF scanning and general warehouse duties as required
• Following strict food safety, quality, and OH&S procedures

What we\'re looking for

• Current LF Forklift Licence
• Proven high reach forklift experience (essential)
• Minimum 1 year high reach experience required
• Background in FMCG, food manufacturing, or fast-paced warehousing preferred
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety
• Reliable, punctual, and strong team player
• Comfortable working in cold storage environments
• Must have prior experience working in cold storage or freezer environments
• Full Australian working rights

Why this role stands out

This is not a short-term casual role — it\'s a secure, permanent opportunity within a highly organised FMCG and food distribution operation servicing nationally recognised retail and supply chain networks. The facility operates across chilled, frozen, and ambient storage environments with strong systems, established processes, and long-term operational stability.

If you\'re a skilled forklift operator looking for consistency, structure, reliable equipment, and a well-run workplace, this is a strong long-term move within one of Western Sydney\'s key temperature-controlled logistics environments.
