• Return unused raw materials to warehouse locations at the completion of production runs
• Ensure sufficient raw materials are prepared for upcoming production runs
• Monitor production schedules and material requirements
• Complete production work order reconciliations and system transactions
• Complete inventory and warehouse transactions using site systems
• Investigate and reconcile inventory discrepancies
• Manage non-conforming finished goods and raw material stock
• Coordinate end-of-run pallet management
• Operate forklifts safely and efficiently
• Participate in daily toolbox meetings
• Maintain compliance with workplace health and safety, food safety, and quality standards

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• A current Forklift Licence
• Previous experience in a warehouse, inventory, manufacturing, or distribution environment
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Good communication and teamwork skills
• The ability to work independently and prioritise workloads effectively

The following would be highly regarded:

• Experience within a manufacturing or FMCG environment
• Experience using warehouse, inventory, ERP, or WMS systems (Oracle, SAP, or similar)
• Experience with inventory control, stock reconciliation, or production support activities

Work Pattern

This position operates on an 84-hour, 7-shift fortnight roster, working rotating 12-hour day and night shifts:

• Day Shift: 6:00am to 6:00pm
• Night Shift: 6:00pm to 6:00am
• Rotating roster across a 14-day cycle

Enjoy a 7-shift fortnight roster that provides more days off than a traditional Monday-Friday role while still maintaining full-time hours.
