• Keep the Team Moving – Support tradespeople and production teams with plant maintenance and other site activities.
• Share Your Knowledge – Provide guidance and support to team members and help maintain high standards across the site.

Your Winning Combination

We're looking for an experienced and safety-focused Rigger / Scaffolder who takes pride in doing a great job.

You’ll ideally have:

• Current High Risk Work Licences – Scaffolding (SI), Rigging (RI) and Dogging (DG).
• Demonstrated experience in an industrial, maintenance or similar environment.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• A proactive approach to safety.
• The ability to organise and coordinate multiple tasks.
• A strong work ethic and commitment to getting the job done safely.

Additional licences such as Forklift, Mobile Crane, Skid Steer, Gantry Crane or HR Licence will be highly regarded.

Don’t tick every box? That’s okay.

We're committed to investing in our people and supporting training and development for the right candidate who brings the right attitude, experience and commitment to safety.
