Job Description

Superior Skip Bins is part of AWC Group. We provide skip-bin, waste transport and resource recovery services for households, builders and businesses across Gympie and surrounding areas. We are building a practical, safety-focused team that takes pride in recovering useful materials, keeping the yard organised and making sure every load is handled through the correct pathway.

n

The opportunity

n

We are looking for a reliable Resource Recovery Team Member to join our Gympie operations team. This is an active, hands-on role involving manual picking and sorting, material separation, housekeeping, yard support and safe coordination around trucks and mobile plant.

n

Depending on your training, licences and demonstrated competence, the role may also include operating assigned plant or equipment. No one is expected to operate plant or perform higher-risk work until they have been trained, assessed and formally authorised.

n

We may appoint more than one suitable candidate through this recruitment process.

n

What you will do

n

n
- Pick and sort accepted materials into the correct reuse, recycling, recovery, stockpile or disposal streams.
n
- Inspect incoming loads from a safe position and identify contamination, prohibited waste or unsafe material for escalation.
n
- Keep tipping, sorting, stockpile, traffic and pedestrian areas clean, orderly and safe.
n
- Support bin movements, loading, unloading and stock management while maintaining exclusion zones around trucks and mobile plant.
n
- Complete pre-start, area and equipment checks and report defects or unsafe conditions promptly.
n
- Operate assigned plant or equipment only when trained, competent,



licensed where required and authorised by AWC.
n
- Record weights, dockets, stock movements, contamination, defects and incidents accurately using the assigned system.
n
- Work cooperatively with drivers, yard personnel, contractors and supervisors and provide explicit shift handovers.
n
- Follow site traffic, waste-acceptance, environmental, PPE, hygiene and emergency procedures.
n
- Stop work and seek direction whenever a task, load, person, vehicle or equipment condition is unsafe or outside approved controls.
n

n

What we are looking for

n

n
- A reliable person who turns up, communicates clearly and works well in a practical team.
n
- Strong safety awareness around trucks, mobile plant, tipping areas, stockpiles and mixed waste materials.
n
- Willingness to perform hands-on work outdoors in changing weather, dust, noise, odour and dirty-material environments while using the required controls and PPE.
n
- Ability to identify and separate material streams accurately and follow site instructions.
n
- Confidence to stop a task and ask for help when conditions are unsafe or unclear.
n
- Ability to use a phone, tablet or site system for basic photos, dockets, checks and records.
n
- Ability to safely perform the inherent requirements of the role, with reasonable adjustments considered where applicable.
n





n

Useful, but not essential

n

n
- Experience in waste, recycling, resource recovery, transfer stations, civil works, construction, quarrying, warehousing, manufacturing or agriculture.
n
- Experience operating forklifts, excavators, loaders or other plant.
n
- A current forklift high-risk work licence or other relevant plant tickets.
n

n

Relevant experience is valued, but attitude, reliability and a genuine commitment to working safely are equally important. Plant experience or a ticket does not automatically authorise independent operation; site induction, task training and competency verification still apply.

n

What we offer

n

n
- A full-time, practical role based in Gympie.
n
- Varied work across material recovery, yard operations and equipment support.
n
- Role-specific induction, training and competency assessment.
n
- A team environment where safety takes priority over production pressure.
n
- Remuneration discussed with shortlisted candidates based on relevant experience, licences and competencies.
n

n

Superior Skip Bins and AWC Group are committed to a respectful and inclusive workplace. We assess applicants on role-relevant skills, experience and capability. Reasonable adjustments are available during the recruitment process and in the workplace where applicable.

n

The successful applicant may be required to complete lawful, role-relevant pre-employment checks, which may include right-to-work evidence, licence verification, fitness-for-work assessment, drug and alcohol screening, site induction and competency verification.
