It's rare to find a freight forwarder based in Brisbane's southern suburbs.
If you're based locally and have been commuting into the city each day, this is an opportunity to continue developing your career a little closer to home.
A growing, family-owned freight forwarder is looking for an Import Operator to join their Brisbane team. This is an expansion hire, giving you the chance to join a business that's continuing to invest in its people and grow alongside it.
You'll work closely with experienced operators and owners of the business who are passionate about sharing their knowledge, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their skills beyond their current role.
