Work Type: Full-Time Casual ($40-$42 Hour + Overtime & Saturdays)
Start Date: ASAP
Position Overview
Are you a morning person with a knack for heavy machinery? We are seeking three skilled and motivated Loader Operators to join our fast-paced concrete batching plant on the Sunshine Coast.
This isn't just a job; it's a career. We are looking for individuals who take pride in their work, maintain a "safety-first" mindset, and are eager to progress within the company. With a consistent 40-42 hour work week plus plenty of overtime and Saturday shifts, this role offers excellent earning potential and long-term stability.
Key Responsibilities
As a Loader Operator, you are the engine room of the plant. Your primary focus is ensuring the batching process never stops by keeping the bins full and the materials organized.
- Stockpile & Hopper Management: Efficiently operate front-end loaders to feed aggregates and sand into hoppers to meet production demands.
- Inbound Material Handling: Coordinate with delivery drivers to receive, weigh, and stockpile raw materials.
- Quality Control: Visually inspect materials for contaminants or moisture variations to ensure the highest quality concrete mix.
- Daily Maintenance: Perform pre-start checks and routine maintenance on the loader (greasing, cleaning, fluid checks) and report any defects immediately.
- Site Upkeep: Use the loader and manual tools to keep the yard clean, manage spillages, and ensure a hazard-free setting.
- Team Collaboration: Communicate effectively via radio with the Batch Plant Manager to prioritize tasks based on the daily pour schedule.
Requirements & Qualifications
We need reliable operators who can hit the ground running. To be successful, you will need:
- Licenses: A current National Heavy Equipment Ticket (LL Class) and a general construction Induction (White Card).
- Experience: Proven experience operating loaders in a high-volume environment (quarrying, civil construction, or concrete experience is highly regarded).
- Reliability: You must have reliable transport and a proven track record of punctuality-early starts are a core part of this industry.
- Physical Fitness: Ability to handle the physical demands of a yard role, including climbing in/out of machinery and performing basic manual labor.
- Attitude: A proactive approach to work and the ability to work independently without constant supervision.
Why Join Us?
- Earning Potential: Solid base hours (40-42 per week) with consistent OT and Saturday rates to boost your take-home pay.
- Career Progression: We believe in promoting from within. For the right candidates, there are clear pathways into Batching, Plant Management, or Technical/Testing roles.
- Local Work: Stay on the Sunshine Coast-no more long commutes to Brisbane.
- Immediate Start: We have three vacancies ready to be filled right now.
