Be part of the movement – and play your part.

About the role

We’re on the lookout for a skilled Forklift Driver to join our warehouse team in Rathcoole. If you enjoy working in a busy environment where no two days are the same, this could be the perfect fit.

You will be responsible for:

• Working Monday – Friday, 14:00 to 22:00
• Driving forklifts (Counterbalance and PPT) to move, load, and unload goods
• Stacking and organising products around the warehouse
• Doing daily equipment checks and flagging any issues
• Following safety rules and wearing the right PPE
• Helping with stock counts and general warehouse tasks

You’ll be part of a friendly, hardworking team that keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes.

About you

You’ll do well in this role if you’ve got experience driving forklifts (Counterbalance and PPT) and know your way around a warehouse. You’re safety-aware, have a good eye for detail, and don’t mind a bit of physical work. You’re also someone who can manage your time well, work with others, and keep things organised. If you’ve got basic computer or inventory skills, even better, but we’ll help you learn what you need.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
