Programmed Skilled Workforce are looking for reliable, hardworking Labourers with a forklift licence to join a busy timber mill in Fyshwick.

If you’re someone who likes keeping busy, doesn’t mind getting your hands dirty and enjoys seeing a solid day’s work behind you, this could be the role for you!

This is an ongoing casual opportunity offering full-time hours (38 per week), with the potential for long-term work and permanency for the right person.

About the Role

You’ll be part of a fast-paced timber production team, helping manufacture timber battens and keeping the yard and production areas running smoothly.

No two days are exactly the same, and there’s plenty to keep you moving!

What You’ll Be Doing

• Operating a forklift to safely move timber products around site
• Assisting with production line duties
• Stacking, sorting and strapping timber
• Manual handling and repetitive lifting
• Keeping the work area clean, tidy and safe
• Supporting the yard and dispatch teams when needed
• Working as part of a team to keep production moving

What We’re Looking For

To be successful, you’ll have:

• Current Forklift Licence – essential
• Timber mill or manufacturing experience is highly regarded, but not essential
• Experience in a hands-on, physical role is an advantage
• A strong commitment to workplace health and safety
• The fitness and ability to work in a physically demanding role
• Reliable transport and a great work ethic
• A positive, can-do attitude and willingness to learn
• Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug & alcohol screening

No timber mill experience? No worries! If you’ve got a forklift licence, a good attitude and are ready to work hard, we want to hear from you. Full training will be provided on the job.

What’s In It For You?

• 38 hours per week 8:30am to 5pm
• Monday to Friday, Dayshift hours.
• Ongoing casual work with potential for permanency
• Weekly pay
• Supportive team environment
• Bonus opportunity most weeks! You can earn an additional bonus when production is running at the required pace — although, like any production-based bonus, it may not be available when production is down or slow.

So if you’re looking for steady hours, decent work and the chance to boost your pay most weeks, this is worth checking out!

If you’re a hands-on worker who enjoys staying busy and wants consistent work in a stable environment, we’d love to hear from you.
