ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with heavy machinery and wants to take their hoist operating skills to the next level by operating our 50-tonne container handlers.

Hours: This is a full-time, permanent position with a guaranteed minimum of 40.25 hours per week. The role operates Monday to Sunday, 6:00am to 6:00pm, on a rotating 4-on, 4-off roster, offering great work-life balance with the option to work additional hours.

  • Flexible and adaptable, with the ability to work across other company sites when required
