We’re looking for someone who wants to develop their technical, operational capability and build a long term career within STL.

You will become an important part of a team responsible for the safe, reliable and efficient operation of a major bulk materials handing facility, while gaining exposure to shipping, maintenance, technology and business improvement.

Your ability to think ahead, identify opportunities, solve problems and understand the bigger picture will be highly valued.

More than an operator role

We are looking for someone who wants to build a career, not simply fill a position.

The right person will have the curiosity and drive to develop their knowledge across operations, maintenance, shipping, technology, safety and business performance.

You may already be an experienced operator or tradesperson, or you may have a strong mechanical or electrical background and be looking to broaden your experience.

A Mechanical or Electrical trade qualification, or significant experience working with the industrial plant and equipment, will be highly regarded.

• Can see beyond the immediate task and understand the bigger picture
• Is positive, reliable and willing to support others
• Is comfortable using computers and operational systems
• Can identify problems and contribute to practical solutions

To be successful, you’ll bring:

• Previous experience in bulk materials handling, processing, manufacturing, mining, agriculture, construction or a similar operational environment
• Strong plant and equipment operating skills
• Relevant high-risk work licences (advantageous)
• A proactive and positive attitude
• Strong commitment to safety
• The ability to understand and use automated control and maintenance systems
• The ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a team

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to do more, learn more and become more.

Why Join STL

You’ll join a team that takes pride in delivering outcomes for the Queensland Sugar Industry while maintaining a strong commitment to safety, teamwork and continuous improvement. At STL, we want to develop people who can contribute not only to today’s operation, but to the future of our business.

If you’re an experienced operator who is technically minded or a tradesperson who wants to broaden your skills, understand how a business operates this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
