Warehouse Operator – Afternoon Shift | Permanent Full-Time

Melbourne Airport / Tullamarine Area

$29–$31 per hour + Afternoon Shift Loading + Super

Permanent Full-Time | 2pm–10pm | Monday to Friday

State-of-the-Art Automated Distribution Facility

Greystones Recruitment is seeking experienced Warehouse Operators / Storepersons to join an impressive, modern distribution operation in the Melbourne Airport / Tullamarine area.

This is not your typical warehouse environment. You will be working in a state-of-the-art, highly automated facility incorporating robotics, advanced warehouse technology and modern pick‑and‑pack systems.

Importantly, these are permanent full-time positions – not casual roles.

If you are currently working casually, this is an opportunity to move into secure, ongoing permanent employment, with the benefits that come with it including paid annual leave, paid personal/sick leave and superannuation, while also receiving the applicable afternoon-shift loading.

Hours

Afternoon Shift: 2pm–10pm, Monday to Friday

Overtime may be available or required when operationally necessary.

The Role

Working within a modern, technology-driven distribution centre, your responsibilities will include:

• Reach forklift operation


• Counterbalance forklift operation


• Tugger operation


• Receiving, picking, packing and dispatch


• Working with automated and robotic warehouse systems


• Using modern technology and computer-based warehouse systems


• Working within high-tech pick-and-pack processes


• General warehouse and distribution duties


• Prioritising workloads and meeting operational deadlines


• Working safely and efficiently within established procedures


• Supporting other team members and contributing to a positive workplace

About You

To be considered, you will need:

• Current Australian forklift licence


• Reach forklift experience


• Tugger experience


• Previous warehouse or distribution experience


• Confidence working with technology and learning new systems


• Good organisational and time-management skills


• Ability to work independently and as part of a team


• Good communication skills


• Reliability and a strong work ethic


• Good level of physical fitness


• Willingness to work the permanent 2pm–10pm afternoon shift

Experience in an automated warehouse would be an advantage, but just as important is being comfortable with technology and willing to learn new systems and processes.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

We understand that casual warehouse rates can sometimes appear higher at first glance.

This position offers something different – the security and benefits of permanent full-time employment, combined with the opportunity to work in an outstanding modern warehouse environment.

You will receive:

• $29–$31 per hour based on experience


• Afternoon-shift loading in addition to the base hourly rate


• Permanent full-time employment


• Paid annual leave


• Paid personal/sick leave


• Superannuation


• Monday to Friday 2pm–10pm roster


• Overtime when required


• State-of-the-art automated and robotic warehouse environment

All applications will be treated confidentially.
