Job description

Yard Operator with a Forklift License (MC License) Temporary

Our Client is searching for an experienced Forklift Driver who also holds a current MC Truck Licence for an immediate start.

The position will involve a combination of forklift duties, truck driving and general yard/warehouse work, so I’m looking for someone who is comfortable getting hands-on and helping wherever required.

• Monday to Friday
• 1:00pm – 9:00pm
• Additional overtime may be available as required
• Immediate start

The successful candidate will need to:

• Hold a valid Forklift Licence
• Hold a current and valid MC Truck Licence
• Have a good understanding of Dangerous Goods (DG) requirements
• Have an understanding of Mass Management and load compliance
• Be confident operating a forklift in a busy working environment
• Be comfortable driving an MC vehicle when required
• Be willing to get their hands dirty and assist with general yard duties
• Be experienced and confident using straps, ratchets, angles and other load restraint equipment to safely secure loads
• Have a strong focus on safety and following correct load restraint procedures
• Be reliable, punctual and flexible with the possibility of overtime

This role would suit someone who is happy to be hands-on rather than just sitting behind the wheel or operating a forklift. We need someone who is prepared to jump in, assist with loading/unloading, secure loads correctly and help keep things moving throughout the shift.
