$57 per hour flat, 6 month project starting 24 August 2026.
Let's get one thing straight. This is a job where you land entire buildings. With a forklift. In the middle of the Pilbara. If that doesn't get your forks tingling, we don't know what will.
We're building the crew to pull apart and put up mine site camp accommodation, and we need a genuinely experienced 16 tonne forklift operator who knows the difference between shifting a pallet and landing a portable room without giving the site supervisor a heart attack.
Why this one doesn't suck
- 2:1 roster, day shift only, 11.5 hour days. Work hard, fly home, actually live your life
- $57 per hour flat under the Construction Award for a locked-in 6 month run
- No two days the same. Demolition today, construction tomorrow, always something moving
- A Project Manager who isn't a hover-craft. Prove you know your gear and he'll leave you to it
- No permanent residency? No dramas, as long as you've got valid work rights, we want to hear from you
What you'll actually be doing
- Landing,
lifting and shuffling portable camp buildings like it's your day job (because it is)
- Pulling apart and putting up mine site accommodation
- Loading, unloading and handling building materials and waste
- Mucking in on demolition and construction tasks as they come up
- Keeping the site clean, tidy and protected, because chaos is not a vibe
What you'll need in the toolbox
- Based in Western Australia
- High Risk Forklift Licence, non-negotiable
- Open drivers licence
- Current White Card
- Real runs on the board operating 16 tonne forklifts, ideally landing portable buildings, not just moving them around a yard
- FIFO camp build or camp maintenance experience
- Ability to pass a mine site medical and drug and alcohol screening
If you can read a load, trust your judgement and would rather be landing buildings than babysitting pallets, this is your kind of chaos.
