Who We Are

REMONDIS FGF JV is a local waste company bringing waste solutions to North Queensland. We view waste as potential. Whenever possible, we divert waste from landfill in sustainable ways. Our people are helping to build a cleaner, more sustainable future – and you can be part of it.

The Role

Based at Killaloe Transfer Station near Port Douglas in Far North Queensland, this is a hands‑on role leading daily site operations. As the Leading Hand, you will work alongside a small team to ensure the smooth running of the transfer station. This role requires you to actively participate in operational tasks and operate machinery on site as needed, while providing day‑to‑day guidance and support to team members.

- Ensure safe, efficient, and compliant site practices through hands‑on leadership

- Coordinate daily tasks and work closely with team members to meet operational goals

- Operate site equipment and machinery as required (e.g. loaders, compactors, forklifts)

- Supervise all transfer station operations, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance

- Oversee WHS and environmental compliance including inspections, toolbox talks, reporting and incident management

- Monitor and report on site performance, productivity, and environmental impact

- Liaise with drivers, mechanics, and subcontractors to ensure timely and safe service delivery

What You Bring

- Proven experience in waste, logistics, civil or heavy industry operations, ideally in a council transfer station or similar environment

- Practical experience operating heavy machinery — excavator ticket and MR licence highly regarded (we can get them the tickets)

- Solid understanding of WHS, environmental, and fatigue management requirements, with a commitment to safe work practices

- Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to guide and support co-workers on the job

- Confident working in a hands‑on role where you lead by example and help keep the team on track

- Comfortable assisting with basic planning and on‑the‑ground decision‑making

- Familiarity with basic computer tasks (e.g. completing reports or using email – Excel/Word/Outlook)

- Can‑do attitude and motivation to take ownership of daily site operations

We Offer

- A hands‑on leadership role with a salaried position

- Flexible working hours, Monday to Thursday, 9.5 hours per day, with start times between 7:30 AM and 6:30 PM

- Long‑term career development opportunities within a global organization committed to sustainability

- A supportive, safety‑first culture that values investment in people and processes

- Ongoing training and professional development, including assistance in obtaining necessary machinery operation tickets for the right candidate
