 About the Role

Our client is a nationally owned and operated steel fabrication company that specialise in the production of all steel building products - commercial and residential. These can include flashings, purlins and rainwater goods to name a few. You will be based in Kewdale and be tasked with loading and restraining the steel freight for the runs departing that day. Due to an increasing workload, they are currently looking to add LF/LO licensed workers to their team. The freight you will be handling is light gauge steel that can be oversize and as such, the role is suited to safety conscious individuals who are happy to operate at a consistent pace.

The ideal candidate would have a previous understanding of load restraint requirements, potentially suiting an ex-driver that wants to do to do majority of the work in the yard and get away from Perth Metro driving. The client is looking for staff they can grow to be self-sufficient, long-term employees. As a result, they are offering this role on full time hours with the opportunity to go permanent after 6-12 months for the right candidate.
