Position Information

Kentish and Latrobe Councils are seeking two Officers – Waste Support to work at waste transfer stations across both municipalities. These roles are a great opportunity for practical, reliable people who enjoy a varied, hands-on job and working with the public.

You’ll help with the day-to-day running of the transfer stations, including assisting customers, checking and directing incoming waste, processing payments and working with contractors to keep bins available and sites running smoothly. You’ll also maintain basic records, report hazards and help ensure waste is handled safely and in line with environmental requirements.

Good customer service is an key part of the role, as you’ll regularly interact with members of the public and help them dispose of their waste correctly.

Both positions involve working across Kentish and Latrobe, including weekends.
