About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Forklift Operator to join a busy manufacturing and warehouse operation based in Carrum Downs.

This is more than just moving pallets. We're looking for a confident, switched-on operator who understands warehouse workflows, can keep materials moving efficiently and isn't afraid to take ownership of the job.

You'll play a key role in supporting daily production requirements, managing stock movements and ensuring the smooth flow of raw materials and finished goods throughout the facility.

Importantly, we're looking for someone with natural leadership qualities who can step up and support the warehouse team when senior operators or 2ICs are on leave or unavailable.

You don't need to be a current supervisor, but you do need to be someone who leads by example, communicates clearly and can make sound decisions in a busy operational environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Operating counterbalance and reach forklifts safely and efficiently in a busy warehouse and manufacturing facility
• Loading and unloading inbound and outbound freight
• Replenishing production lines with raw materials, packaging and consumables
• Transporting, staging and put-away of finished goods and palletised stock
• Coordinating stock movements between production, warehouse and dispatch
• Maintaining accurate stock records and following FIFO/FEFO stock rotation procedures
• Working in accordance with GMP, food safety and WHS requirements
• Stepping into 2IC duties when required, helping coordinate workloads, guide team members and maintain operational efficiency

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Current and valid Australian LF Forklift Licence
• Demonstrated forklift operating experience in a warehouse, manufacturing or FMCG environment
• Confident and competent operating forklifts around production personnel, racking and active warehouse areas
• Sound understanding of stock movements, warehouse processes and safe loading practices
• Strong awareness of WHS requirements and safe forklift operating procedures
• Excellent communication, reliability and attention to detail
• Ability to prioritise tasks and work independently without constant supervision
• A proactive attitude and willingness to assist with hands-on warehouse duties

Highly Regarded

• Previous experience in food manufacturing, FMCG or high-volume distribution
• Experience acting as a Leading Hand, Senior Storeperson or Warehouse 2IC
• High-reach forklift experience
• RF scanning, WMS or inventory management experience
• Knowledge of GMP, HACCP and food safety standards
• Experience coordinating small teams or supporting warehouse supervisors
