We are a privately owned family business with a solid reputation in the Scrap Metal Recycling Industry. Our primary function is the collection and processing of scrap metal to supply both domestic and international industries that require end-of-life metals to produce new products.

You’ll need your own reliable car (as public transport is limited in the area) and a valid driver’s licence.
This is a hands-on role where we’ll teach and show you what’s expected, and we’re looking for someone who takes pride and ownership in their work. The position involves standing for long periods and performing repetitive tasks in a busy environment, so being physically fit and able to navigate stairs is essential.

- Operating forklifts to move materials around the yard (when required)

- Basic maintenance tasks
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised work environment
What do I need?
- Previous manual labouring experience in an outdoor or industrial environment
- LF forklift ticket and experience (advantageous)
- Traffic Control ticket (desirable but not essential)
- Current driver’s licence and reliable transport
- Safety-first mindset and ability to follow procedures
- Strong communication skills (two-way radio use essential)
- Flexible attitude and willingness to assist in various tasks
- Punctual, reliable, and hardworking
- Physically fit for manual handling and occasional heavy lifting
Work Workplace:
- Outdoor scrap metal recycling yard

- Hours: Monday to Friday, 6:00am to 4:00pm (occasional weekends required)
Please Note: This is is a casual position that requires availability from Monday to Friday, with some Saturdays as required. There is opportunity for a permanent position for the right candidate.
