The Opportunity

We are seeking experienced Forklift Operators to join a busy logistics and yard operation based at the Port of Brisbane. This is a hands on, no nonsense role where you'll be working across a wide variety of freight types including steel products, mining supplies, general cargo, and even vehicle unloading.

This is not a sit on the forklift all day role. You'll be part of a team unloading containers, palletising goods, working in the yard, and supporting daily operations across the site. The environment is fast paced, outdoors, and requires someone who can keep up and get stuck in.

If you're reliable, physically capable, and comfortable working in the elements with a strong team around you, this is a solid long term opportunity.

What You'll Be Doing

• Unload containers with a mix of forklift work and manual handling
• Operate counterbalance forklifts across yard and warehouse operations
• Palletise a wide range of goods including steel, cartons, and industrial freight
• Assist with loading and unloading trucks in the yard
• Support container unpacking including vehicle unloading (driving vehicles out of containers)
• Work across different freight types including oversized and irregular loads
• Maintain a safe and organised working environment at all times

What We're Looking For

• Current LF Forklift Licence (essential)
• Minimum 2 years forklift operating experience
• Experience with larger forklifts (12-16 tonne) highly regarded but not essential
• Comfortable working outdoors in all conditions
• Physically fit and able to handle manual, hands on tasks
• Ability to work in a fast paced environment with a strong work ethic
• Resilient, reliable, and able to work within a tight knit team

Shift & Pay

• Day Shift: 6:00am - 2:30pm
• Monday to Friday
• Up to $35 per hour + OT
• Ongoing work with long term potential

Why This Role Stands Out

• Variety across freight types no two days the same
• Work within a busy Port of Brisbane operation
• Strong team culture with a no nonsense environment
• Consistent hours with overtime available
• Opportunity to build experience across multiple freight types and equipment
