$35 Per Hour + Super | Full-Time | Barnawartha, VIC

Great Pay. Hands-On Work. A Career With Room to Grow!

Are you a switched-on, hardworking individual who enjoys variety, operating machinery and getting stuck into a good day's work? We want to hear from you!

Staffpower is excited to be recruiting for a fantastic opportunity with an established and growing grain processing and export operation based in Barnawartha.

We're searching for a reliable, mechanically minded and motivated Grain Handling & Production Operator who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves, enjoys learning new skills and wants to build a long-term career.

This isn't your typical warehouse or production job! You'll be involved in everything from grain handling and quality sampling to operating machinery, forklifts and assisting with export preparation.

If you're looking for more than just a job, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for!

What's In It For You?

• Excellent pay rate of $35 per hour plus superannuation

• Full-time employment with consistent weekday hours

• Monday to Friday, 7:30am – 4:00pm

• Overtime opportunities during busy periods, particularly harvest season

• Work with a variety of machinery and equipment, including up to 32 tonne forklifts and John Deer tractors

What Will You Be Doing?

No two days will be quite the same! Your responsibilities will include:

• Operating grain handling, processing and packaging machinery

• Collecting and assessing grain samples to assist with quality grading

• Directing grain into appropriate storage silos according to quality

• Operating forklifts to move, load and stack products

• Preparing and packing products for export

• Assisting with bale handling and stacking operations

• Operating a John Deere tractor when required, with training provided

• General warehouse duties, cleaning and maintaining an organised workspace

• Ensuring equipment is operated safely and efficiently

What Are We Looking For?

We're not necessarily looking for someone who has done it all before. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, a willingness to learn and the common sense to get things done!

Ideally, you'll bring:

• A current forklift licence

• A current driver's licence and reliable transport

• Good mechanical aptitude and confidence around machinery

• Excellent attention to detail, particularly when it comes to quality control

• The ability to think for yourself, solve problems and show initiative

• A physically capable, hands-on approach to work

• A strong work ethic, reliability and a positive attitude

• A genuine interest in securing long-term employment and developing new skills

Ready for Something Different?

If you're tired of doing the same thing day in, day out and want a position where you can learn, grow and become a valued member of a team, we would love to hear from you!

An immediate start is available for the right candidate.
