We're looking for an experienced Forklift Operator to join a busy Maddington yard supporting the construction, civil infrastructure industries with dewatering / shoring equipment hire.
This isn't your standard warehouse forklift role.
You'll be handling large, heavy and irregular loads, so experience with "ugly freight" is essential.
This is a role where attitude carries as much weight as the ticket.
we want someone who turns up on time every day, takes safety seriously, communicates clearly with the yard and workshop crew, and takes ownership of the yard rather than waiting to be told.
Someone looking for a secure, ongoing position with a well-established business will do well here.
What You'll Be Doing
Operating larger-capacity forklifts
Loading and unloading trucks
Moving oversized and awkward freight safely around the yard
Handling construction materials, plant and other heavy products
Working as part of a hands-on yard team
Keeping the yard organised and maintaining a strong focus on safety

Proven experience operating large-capacity forklifts
Experience handling oversized, heavy or irregular freight

Current C class Drivers Licence & reliable transport
Ability to pass a drug and alcohol screen
Full Australian working rights - Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident
Reliable, punctual and able to commit to a full working week
Physically fit and able to undertake manual handling and repetitive lifting
Your Extra Tickets Can Pay Off Have more than just a forklift ticket?
HR-B Drivers Licence & experience with HIAB with CV High Risk Work Licence with load restraint knowledge highly regarded and can attract a higher rate of pay.
What's On Offer?
$***** per hour
Plenty of overtime available
Half-day Saturdays
Long-term, stable opportunity
Weekly pay on submission of an approved timesheet
Great team culture with a strong support network
Pay cycle
Weekly, on submission of an approved timesheet
Pre-employment requirements

Two contactable work references.
Completed Skillforce registration, onboarding and induction.
Right to work verification.
If you're an experienced operator who knows how to handle the big stuff safely and confidently, we'd like to hear from you.
