  • 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

  • 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
