Warehouse Traineeship

Who we are

CERTEX Lifting and our affiliated Australian companies supply lifting equipment, steel wire rope, height safety, and other lifting solutions, alongside connected services including testing, maintenance, assembly, and hire of lifting products for industrial applications in a wide range of industries. With over 18 Australian sites across 5 strong brands, we are one of Australia's largest providers of lifting equipment solutions, with a far-sighted focus on sustainable growth.

We pride ourselves on being good to work with, and this translates to a friendly and open company culture.

The Role

Working as part of a small team in our largest branch, your role will include all activities related to stock management, including coordinating ingoing and outgoing stock to meet both branch and customer needs.

In partnership with a private training provider, you will commence a 2-year traineeship and gain a nationally recognised and accredited qualification while you work.  You will be given time at work to complete training materials, and the traineeship is completely funded by the company. We will also organise a forklift ticket, to enable you to undertake all required warehouse duties safely.

Alongside gaining industry knowledge, systems experience, and building workplace skills, you'll learn and be assessed on all aspects of working in warehouse operations, including how to:

• Complete receival and despatch paperwork.
• Check specifications of goods and store items.
• Prepare items for despatch or pickup.
• Conduct stocktakes.

• Good communication skills and ability to work in a team.
• Careful attention to detail and good numerical literacy.
• Able to work in a physical environment, including manual handling and lifting (safe) loads in accordance with WHS procedures.
• Good time management skills.
• Can follow work procedures and directions.
• Willing to undergo a pre-employment medical, including drug & alcohol screening.
• The legal right to work in Australia on a full time, permanent basis.

Who we are looking for
