High Reach Forklift Operators

Casual | Pathway to Full Time for those who are interested | LF Licence Essential | Chiller & Freezer work

Due to significant growth in our Morningside operation, we have created multiple new Forklift Operator positions – these are genuine growth roles, not replacements. With shifts to suit a range of availabilities, the work centres on inbound receiving, unloading, put-aways, replenishments, and loading across chiller and freezer environments. The majority of the work supports a fast-growing, direct-to-consumer Australian food brand, with additional inbound and outbound forklift work across our other clients also based at the depot. You’ll need to be comfortable across both counterbalance and high reach equipment, including double deep racking, and confident working across chiller and freezer environments.

Shifts Available:

• 6:00am – 2:00pm | Monday to Friday
• 8:00am – 4:00pm | Monday to Friday
• 4:00pm – 12:00am | Sunday to Thursday

Key Responsibilities:

• Operate counterbalance and high reach forklifts safely and accurately across chiller (approx. 0°C to 5°C) and freezer (approx. -18°C to -23°C) environments, including double deep racking
• Support inbound receiving, unloading, put-aways, and replenishment tasks across multiple clients at the depot
• Handle premium food products with care, adhering to correct FIFO rotation and food safety requirements
• Use RF scanning and WMS systems to manage stock movements accurately in real time
• Adhere to all WHS, food safety, and hygiene requirements at all times

You’ll Bring:

• A current LF forklift licence with demonstrated experience on both counterbalance and high reach equipment, including double deep racking – essential
