Description

Loader Operator

We are currently looking for a loader operator to join a busy asphalt manufacturing plant. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys physical work, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in working safely.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Experience with a wheel loader
  • Moving asphalt products and materials around the yard
  • General yard maintenance and housekeeping
  • Assisting with dispatch and stock control
  • Following all health and safety procedures

To be successful you will have:

  • Current W Endorsement
  • Previous wheel loader experience
  • A strong work ethic and a positive attitude
  • Good communication skills
  • A commitment to health and safety
  • Full Class 1 driver's licence
  • Able to pass a pre-employment drug test 

What's on offer:

  • Immediate start
  • Allowance if working nightshift
  • Competitive hourly rate
  • Opportunity for permanent employment for the right person
  • Supportive team environment

Please note: This role is based in a busy asphalt plant, so you'll need to be comfortable working in a dusty industrial environment. Early morning starts and some possible nighshift will be required to meet production and delivery schedules.

If you have the required experience and certifications and are ready to hit the ground running, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now or contact Hanne on 021 241 6482 for more information.
