Container Labourers & Forklift Operators
Summit Container Crew is looking for reliable, physically capable people to join our Melbourne warehouse labour crew, unloading and loading containers and helping process freight for our clients.
What the job involves
This is hands-on, physical warehouse work. You'll be part of a crew unloading and loading 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high-cube shipping containers, then sorting, palletising and staging product ready for our clients' warehouses. Jobs vary in size and location across Melbourne, so no two days are exactly the same.
- Unloading and loading shipping containers by hand as part of a crew
- Sorting, palletising and hand or machine wrapping cartons and product
- Staging completed pallets ready for put-away
- Operating a forklift where you hold a current licence and it's required on site
- Working across different warehouse sites around Melbourne depending on the job
The kind of person who does well on this crew
- Reliable — you turn up on time, every time you're rostered on
- Comfortable with physical work — this role involves regular manual handling, lifting and being on your feet for the length of a shift
- Able to work as part of a crew and follow site safety requirements
- Previous container unloading, warehouse or forklift experience is highly regarded — but we're also open to reliable people who are keen to learn
- A current forklift licence (LF) is a bonus and may open up forklift duties, but it isn't required for every container labourer role
- Able to provide your own reliable transport to different warehouse locations around Melbourne
This is casual, Melbourne-based work only — we don't currently offer interstate positions. Start times, shift lengths and how often work is available all vary depending on current jobs, so we're looking for people who can genuinely commit to flexible availability and give us reliable notice of when they can and can't work.
