Monday to Friday | 4am–12pm | Finish at lunchtime (almost) every day
Perth Markets | Canning Vale, WA
Full-time permanent
Early starts. Early finishes. Your afternoons are yours.
Looking for a full-time role where you can finish work at midday, Monday to Friday? Perth Markets is looking for a practical, reliable and customer-focused Market Compliance Officer to join our team at Market City in Canning Vale.
This is a hands-on, people-focused role with a strong emphasis on customer service, site safety and compliance. You’ll be a visible presence across the Market, helping tenants, workers, drivers and visitors understand and follow our Site Rules while providing friendly, professional assistance when they need it.
The role will suit someone who enjoys working with people, is comfortable having respectful but firm conversations when rules aren’t being followed, and takes pride in helping maintain a safe, well-run environment.
Your regular hours will be 4am to 12pm, Monday to Friday, giving you your afternoons free.
You will also be rostered for an occasional afternoon shift (10am–6pm) around once a month, with opportunities for overtime potentially available, including weekend shifts.
Our 51-hectare Market City site is WA's wholesale fresh produce market and is home to around 170 tenants, with approximately 3,000–6,000 people using the site each day.
What you'll be doing
A big part of your role will be being out on site, talking to people and helping ensure everyone is working and moving around the Market safely and responsibly.
You'll be
- Providing friendly, helpful and skilled customer service to tenants, workers, drivers and visitors
- Building positive relationships with the people who work at and visit the Markets
- Helping people understand and comply with Perth Markets’ Site Rules and safety requirements
- Addressing non-compliance calmly,
respectfully and consistently, including situations where people may not initially agree with you
- Patrolling the site on foot and monitoring safety, security and compliance
- Checking site access credentials and licences
- Carrying out routine forklift compliance inspections
- Identifying unsafe behaviour and taking appropriate action to help keep the site safe
- Responding to incidents, alarms and emergencies
- Providing first aid and assisting as a first responder when required
- Identifying hazards and reporting damaged infrastructure, lighting or signage
- Assisting with traffic management and isolating or barricading incident areas when required
- Completing clear and accurate incident and compliance reports
- Pitching in with practical site duties, including some manual handling, housekeeping and moving items such as pallets.
Who we're looking for
You don't need to come from an office or corporate compliance background. We’re particularly interested in people who are good communicators, enjoy helping others and can balance great customer service with the confidence to enforce rules when needed.
You may have experience in customer service, security, warehousing, transport, logistics, traffic management, facilities, operations or another hands-on environment where dealing with people, following procedures and maintaining safety are important.
You'll suit the role if you:
- Genuinely enjoy talking to and helping people
- Can provide good customer service while still being firm and consistent about rules and safety
- Are confident approaching people if you see something unsafe or contrary to Site Rules
- Can explain why rules need to be followed, rather than simply telling people what they can and can't do
- Can handle difficult conversations or challenging behaviour calmly and professionally
- Have a practical, safety-first attitude and good situational awareness
- Are comfortable starting work at 4am
- Are an Australian Permanent Resident
- Enjoy being active and working on your feet
- Can work independently while also being part of a team
- Can write clear incident reports and use basic computer systems
- Hold an unrestricted driver's licence
- Can obtain a National Police Clearance
- Hold a First Aid Certificate or are willing to obtain one
- Hold a Forklift High Risk Work Licence, or are willing and able to obtain one within your first three months of employment.
Why this role is different
The roster is the big lifestyle benefit:
4am start → 12pm finish → afternoons free
Work a full-time Monday-to-Friday job and still have your afternoons available for family, appointments, training, hobbies, errands, the beach or simply getting things done while everyone else is still at work.
You'll also receive
- Free on-site parking
- PPE and full uniform
- Full training
- Opportunities to develop your skills
- On-site amenities and generous benefits, including 2 additional Wellness Days leave per annum
- A friendly, practical team environment.
If you're great with people, confident enforcing rules fairly and consistently, and passionate about helping create a safe and well-run workplace, we'd like to hear from you. Apply now with your current resume and a brief cover letter telling us why you’ll be a great fit for this role to
