Description:
Help us deliver like never before
We’re delivering like never before. From the vehicles that we drive, to the small businesses that make our communities thrive. We’re delivering for the environment, for our communities, for our customers and for our people. We’re moving forward and we want you to come along for the ride.
About the opportunity
We’re looking for a Freight Handler to join our diverse and hard-working team. With e-commerce booming, our freight handlers are the folks making sure consignments are correctly loaded so we can get deliveries out to our customers, fast.
You’ll be
- Using your strong work ethic to help us keep delivering great service
- Handloading parcels and cartons from conveyor belts into trucks, ready for our drivers to head out on the road
- Unloading trucks when drivers get back to the warehouse
- Wrapping freight by hand or using a shrink wrapper (you know - like the ones at the airport), electronically scanning parcels and updating documentation.
- Starting from the 7.30am - 11.30am (Monday to Friday). 4 hours a day, 5 days a week with the occasional overtime.
About you
- You’re fit and can lift at least 30kg repeatedly – we assess this at a pre-employment medical check to help make sure you’re safe on the job
- You’re laser focused, even when the role gets repetitive
- You’re a team player, passionate about helping our team keep the community connected
- You’re also an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident
- If you’ve got a forklift licence that’s a plus, since this comes handy moving freight around the warehouse
How we’ll deliver for you
- Work in a modern facility and benefit from competitive rates, diverse rosters and operate in a safe and inclusive working environment
- We invest in you for the long-term, encouraging growth through delivering on our values of trust, inclusivity, empowerment and safety
- Be part of a culture where everybody feels they belong, are valued, and can bring their authentic self to work every day
- Pay an attractive casual rate of $42.55 per hour (inclusive of casual loading) + 12% superannuation contributions.
