The Role
We're looking for a reliable and safety-focused Forklift Operator / Yard Person to join our team in Port Melbourne. This is a hands‐on role offering variety across forklift operations, warehouse duties and exposure to plant operations.
This is a primarily forklift‐based role, working with palletised cement and concrete products in a fast‐paced yard and warehouse environment. You'll play a key role in keeping operations running smoothly – from loading trucks to supporting the packing line. You'll be part of a small, collaborative team and have the opportunity to broaden your skills into plant operation over time.
This is a permanent, full‐time role working a 4 x 10hr set roster (Tuesday – Friday 0600 – 1600).
Key Responsibilities
* Operate a forklift to load/unload trucks and move palletised goods safely and efficiently
* Pick and prepare orders accurately using packing slips
* Monitor and support the automated packing line as required
* Undertake general yard and warehouse cleaning (including ride‐on sweeper)
* Perform manual handling tasks (e.g. rework of non‐conforming product, partial pallet builds)
* Complete pre‐start checks and basic equipment maintenance
* Assist with stocktakes and inventory control
* Follow Chain of Responsibility (CoR) and all site safety requirements
About You
If you enjoy staying active, working as part of a tight‐knit team and taking ownership of your work, this is a great opportunity to build your skills in a busy manufacturing environment. Ideally you'll bring:
* A current Forklift Licence (essential)
* Experience in warehouse operations, particularly truck loading/unloading
* Strong focus on safety and situational awareness
* Ability to work in a physically demanding, hands‐on role
* Good attention to detail and accuracy when picking orders
* Mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn plant operations (highly regarded)
