Join a team that's All Kinds of Useful

At Origin, being useful is more than a tagline - it's how we approach work every day. As a collective, we're a team that thrives on finding better ways, working together, and owning our impact. From powering homes to delivering award-winning internet and helping to lead Australia's energy transition. If you're driven by purpose and excited to be part of something bigger, we'd love to have you on the journey.

About the role:

As a Terminal Operator at Origin's Cavan site, you'll enjoy a hands-on role that offers variety, teamwork, and genuine opportunity. Working as part of a close-knit team, you'll be responsible for a range of on-site activities, including filling LPG cylinders and loading/unloading trucks, all in line with the safe and efficient operation of the terminal.

For the right person, this role can grow into more than just a job — it's a potential career path. There may be opportunities to upskill, such as obtaining a truck licence or taking on additional responsibilities like cylinder testing or relief driving.

You'll play a key role in Origin's LPG distribution process during our peak season, helping to ensure we continue delivering reliable, high-quality service to our customers.

Responsibilities?

  • Receive, Check, Load/Unload and Dispatch in accordance with company Operating Procedures, all LPG consigned to the Terminal
  • Maintain a working stock of full, tested LPG Exchange and Cylinders
  • To deliver LPG cylinders to domestic and commercial customers by cylinder truck
  • Carry out repairs and retests on LPG Cylinders and Bulk Vessels to ensure sufficient working stocks of these items are maintained
  • Control and record the movements inwards and outwards of all LPG Cylinders and Bulk Tanks including regular stocktaking of LPG Product, Cylinders and Bulk Tanks
  • Assist with undertaking and completing weekly and monthly checks and tests of the LPG Terminal, Fire Protection System, LPG Vehicles and complete appropriate Checklists in accordance with Origin Energy Operational Procedures

What will you bring?

  • You'll need to be physically fit.
  • A strong team player.
  • Hold a current Forklift Licence.
  • You'll bring a calm, focused approach to your work, even in busy, noisy, or emergency situations.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as you'll be interacting with both internal and external stakeholders and may also be required to complete basic clerical tasks.

This is a physically demanding role, requiring the repeated lifting of 25kg LPG cylinders to shoulder height — so you can skip the gym membership

So, why join us?

  • 20 weeks of paid leave for primary carers with flexible return options.
  • Thrive in a culture of personal and professional growth.
  • Powering your career with unbeatable perks - Get discounted electricity, gas, and internet as an Origin employee
