3 days ago
You prioritise the safety of yourself and others at work, both physically and mentally.
You've been developing your skills and are ready to work on projects that matter to the people of NSW. You know that quality matters and that delivering results requires a great team.
In this role, you'll:
- Operate a grader to spread gravel and perform final trimming on road rehabilitation and heavy patching sites with limited supervision.
- Carry out a variety of manual and skilled labour tasks, including the use of powered and non-powered hand tools and small plant equipment, either independently or as part of a team, with minimal supervision.
- Provide guidance to team members and lead small work groups as needed, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently and safely—this includes operating graders to meet required standards and tolerances.
- Perform routine safety inspections and basic maintenance on plant equipment, such as refuelling and fluid checks, while maintaining accurate usage and maintenance records.
- Address routine operational issues using standard procedures and escalate complex problems to supervisors or managers to minimise risk and support work objectives.
- Apply knowledge of WHS legislation, policies, and procedures to identify, assess, and manage risks, maintain accurate records, and promote a strong safety culture.
- Follow environmental protocols by identifying and addressing minor hazards, selecting low-impact work methods, and applying appropriate controls to reduce environmental impact.
Work a 9-day fortnight roster.
