Whether you’re picking orders in a cold room environment, building and sealing delivery boxes on the pack line, or operating a forklift across temperature-controlled storage areas – these are hands-on roles suited to people who take pride in their work, show up reliably, and thrive in a structured team environment. These are casual positions with a genuine pathway to full-time employment for the right candidates.

Freezer High Reach Forklift Operators:

• Approx. 3:00pm start, Sunday to Thursday roster, with overtime available
