We are currently seeking women and men to join our Brisbane team in the position of a Casual or “Supplementary” General Stevedore.
Our workforce is readily available 24/7 to provide our customers with seamless access to terminal facilities in Australia around the clock. In this this role you will be required to work shift work, across 7 days a week. You will be notified of your shifts 1 day in advance by calling an automated phone system or checking online. You will be initially employed on a casual basis with no guarantee of shifts.
As a General Stevedore you will work outdoors. You will perform three main tasks:
- Lashing – This is the use of heavy rigging equipment to secure shipping containers to the deck of a ship. Due to the physically demanding nature of this work, you will be required to demonstrate you can safely lift and pass a 'lashing bar lifting test' prior to employment as part of a broader pre-employment medical and physical assessment.
- Pins – This is the locking and unlocking of heavy twist locks, which secure containers together and to the deck of a ship to prevent movement while at sea. This work is performed underneath a crane close to lots of moving machinery.
- Straddle driving - A Straddle is a 60-tonne heavy vehicle used to move shipping containers. Straddle drivers sit in a cabin approximately 12 metres high – so this is not well suited to those with a fear of heights.
A 2-week initial induction and training program will be provided including training on lashing and pins. Training on the straddle will occur at a later time.
This role requires Maritime Security Clearance, and candidates must be able to obtain or hold an MSIC card. Candidates must have Australian residency and working rights prior to application for this role or their application will not be shortlisted.
Qualifications, skills and experience
To be successful in this role, you will have the following experience, skills and qualifications:
- A current and valid driver's licence
- A current and valid forklift licence (LF)
- Experience driving heavy machinery.
- Experience with shift work (day, evening and night shifts).
- Experience with physical work or labouring. Experience in heavy industry such as warehousing, transport and logistics, construction, mining, or manufacturing
