• Inputting job specifications into machines
• Loading and unloading trucks using forklifts and overhead cranes
• Picking and packing orders
• Working closely with your team to keep operations running smoothly
• Playing an active role in maintaining a safe workplace

• Brings a positive, can-do attitude and is keen to learn
• Enjoys practical, hands-on work
• Thinks on their feet and solves problems confidently
• Values safety and teamwork
• Has (or is willing to obtain) a forklift licence
• Bonus: experience with cranes or machinery—but we’ll train you if not!

Why Townsville?
Make the move and enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle without sacrificing career growth. Swap long commutes and crowded cities for a vibrant regional community, beautiful weather, and more work-life balance.

Why Rockhampton?
Enjoy a more balanced way of living with everything you need close by. From the Fitzroy River to nearby coastal escapes, Rockhampton offers a relaxed lifestyle with a strong sense of community—perfect for those looking to slow down without sacrificing opportunity.
