The Opportunity

• Night Shift: Sunday to Wednesday (7:00pm – 3:20am), Thursday (7:00pm – 1:10am)

What Will You Do?

• loading and unloading steel products from trucks
• operating forklifts and other plant equipment safely and efficiently
• conducting routine safety and equipment checks before and after use
• assisting with general warehouse duties to maintain a clean and organised workspace
• coordinating with team members and supervisors to meet production and despatch schedules

• experience in a similar operating environment
• good communication skills and a positive, can‑do attitude
• the ability or willingness to learn how to drive a forklift -- holding a current forklift license is ideal
• a commitment to your own safety and wellbeing and caring for others

• Uniform and personal protective equipment (PPE) provided — no need to purchase your own
• Free secure onsite parking and access to onsite physio
• Ongoing training, support, and career development opportunities
• Employee benefits including discounts on travel, vehicles, health, and more
