About the opportunity

AWX is seeking experienced and reliable Forklift Operators to join the Distribution team in Reservoir (VIC).

You'll be part of a tight-knit warehouse operation that moves high-quality pipeline products used in major infrastructure projects across Australia.

This is a role for career-minded operators - people who take pride in precision forklift work, safe practices, and being part of a high-performing crew. Many of the site's supervisors and managers started on the floor, making this an excellent long-term career opportunity for the right person.

  • Hold a strong sense of pride in your work and care for safety
  • The ability to fit into a steady, high-performing distribution team
  • Interest in long-term career progression within a national brand

What you'll do

  • Operate 2.5 T twin-tyne Toyota counterbalance forklifts to handle large-diameter pipe and fittings
  • Load and unload interstate and local delivery trucks
  • Use RF scanners to pick, store, and dispatch orders accurately
  • Maintain housekeeping and equipment safety standards
  • Collaborate with a diverse and experienced team

What You'll Need (and How to Get Started)

  • LF Forklift Licence (current and valid)
  • Minimum 5 years' forklift and warehousing experience
  • Proven counterbalance forklift experience handling large or awkward loads (pipe, steel, or timber)
  • Experience using RF scanners or warehouse systems
  • Strong safety awareness, reliability, and attention to detail

Benefits

  • Excellent hourly rate
  • Stable Monday-Friday roster - enjoy your weekends off
  • Genuine temp-to-perm pathway for high-performing operators
  • Work in a team where people grow - many leaders started as operators
