Who are we?
We are a privately owned family business with a strong reputation in the scrap metal recycling industry. Our primary focus is the collection and processing of scrap metal to supply both domestic and international industries that use end-of-life metals to create new products.
What are we looking for?
We are seeking a reliable Trade Assistant who prioritises safety, is self-motivated, flexible, and demonstrates a strong work ethic. You should have a positive attitude, be well-mannered, and take pride in your work.
A valid LF forklift ticket and experience operating a forklift are highly advantageous. The successful applicant must also be available to work some weekends when required.
You'll need your own reliable car (as public transport is limited in the area) and a valid driver's licence.
This is a hands-on role where training will be provided. We're looking for someone who enjoys practical work, has an interest in the mechanical or trade field, and is willing to learn. The position involves standing for long periods and working in an outdoor, industrial environment, so being physically fit and safety-focused is essential.
What will my responsibilities be?
- Assisting tradespeople and operators with general maintenance and yard activities
- Performing basic mechanical and trade support tasks under supervision
- Operating forklifts and other machinery (where licensed)
- Assisting with repairs, fabrication, and daily operational requirements
- Using hand and power tools safely and efficiently
- Performing general housekeeping and yard duties
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised work environment
- Adhering to all safety guidelines, procedures, and site policies
What do I need?
- Minimum completion of Year 12 (Grade 12) or equivalent
- Training or experience in a mechanical, trade, or industrial environment
- LF Forklift ticket and/or High Risk Work Licence (advantageous)
- Previous experience in a scrap, recycling, or heavy industrial environment (preferred)
- Current driver's licence and reliable transport
- Safety-first mindset and ability to follow instructions and procedures
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Physically fit for manual handling and outdoor work
- Punctual, reliable, and hardworking
This is a casual position working day shifts Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturday work and potential to become permanent based on performance and business needs.
