Forklift/Machine Operators

AWX is seeking Forklift/Machine Operators for a plasterboard manufacturing site in Pinkenba. These casual positions offer ongoing Monday to Friday work, competitive pay and the potential to transition to permanent employment with our client.

We are looking for both experienced forklift operators who are confident moving wide loads and candidates with a valid forklift licence who would prefer to focus on machine operation, with occasional forklift duties.

About the Role
Depending on your experience and allocated position, duties may include:

• Operating forklifts to move plasterboard, wide loads and production materials.
• Operating machinery used in plasterboard manufacturing.
• Assisting with production tasks and material handling.
• Following site safety procedures and maintaining a tidy work area.

Hours and Pay
You must be available to work all three shifts on a rotating weekly roster:

Week 1: Afternoon shift.
Week 2: Day shift.
Week 3: Night shift.
Week 4: Afternoon shift, continuing the rotation.

The day shift base rate is $45 per hour, with additional penalty rates for afternoon and night shifts.

What We're Looking For

• A current, valid LF forklift licence is essential for all positions.
• Experience moving wide or oversized loads is highly regarded for forklift-focused positions.
• Candidates with less forklift experience are encouraged to apply for machine-focused positions involving occasional forklift operation.
• Availability for ongoing Monday to Friday work across the full rotating roster.
• A reliable approach to attendance, teamwork and workplace safety.
• Full, ongoing Australian working rights.

What's on Offer

• Competitive hourly rates and shift penalties.
