Your New Role:

We’re not just looking for someone to sit on a forklift all day, we’re searching for high performing operators who want to be a key player in a fast paced logistics environment. If you're someone who takes pride in your work, thrives in a team, and is always the first to step up when something needs doing, this is for you.

Whether you're already experienced on larger forklifts (16T–20T) or keen to learn, this is your chance to join a professional crew where your attitude matters as much as your skills.

What You’ll Be Doing:

🚛 Forklift Operation – Confidently operate 2.5T+ forklifts (experience on high capacity forklifts a huge plus!)

📦 Manual Handling – Daily lifting, strapping, sorting and prepping freight, there's no “just forklift” jobs here

🧠 Rotating Tasks – Get involved in every part of the operation, from yard work to warehouse support

🛠 Pre-starts & Safety – Conduct daily checks and follow strict site safety protocols

🧼 Pitch In – Keep the workspace clean and contribute to a high performing team culture

What We’re Looking For:

✅ LF Licence Required – And confident forklift ability is a must

✅ Bonus Points for Heavy Forklift Experience (16T–20T) – but not essential

✅ Team First Mentality – You’re the type who helps out without being asked

✅ Physically Fit – You’re not afraid of hard work or getting your hands dirty

✅ Eager to Learn – You want to grow, take on more responsibility, and stand out

✅ Committed to the Cause – You show up on time and give your best, every shift

Shift & Rates:

🕕 Day Shift | $33.50/hr + OT

🌙 Afternoon Shift | $38.18/hr + OT

📆 Monday to Friday with overtime opportunities

What’s In It for You:

💰 Top rates with full penalties and overtime paid, no flat rates here

📈 Pathway to long term employment with leadership potential for the right people

🚛 Work with some of the best operators and biggest gear in the game

👷‍♂️ A culture that rewards those who show up, stand out, and step up

📍 Onsite at the Port, a prime logistics location with real growth
