Labourer

About the Role

If you're the kind of person who takes pride in a job well done and isn't afraid of hard, physical work, this one's for you. This is a casual labouring role based in Dandenong, supporting a specialist coatings team on site. Day to day, you'll be getting stuck into surface preparation work, including grinding, blasting, and cleaning, as well as mixing and preparing coatings materials, moving equipment, and keeping the site clean, safe, and running smoothly. You'll work alongside trade staff and take direction from supervisors, so being a reliable team player who communicates well is just as important as the physical side of the role. To be considered, you'll need a current White Card and the ability to pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol screen. Previous experience in labouring, surface prep, or the coatings and painting industry will put you ahead of the pack, and a current forklift licence (LF ticket) along with Confined Space and/or Working at Heights certification are also required for this position.
