We’re genuinely invested in your career and no matter where you start with us, that pathway is yours to build

About the role:    

 
Our Trade Centre's operate a little differently to our retail sites providing a delivery and pick up solution for key building lines, delivering bulk quantities of materials to building sites. We partner with our commercial customers, helping them manage their projects with a ‘whole of build’ solution. We stock a select number of core builders' lines, that allows our customers to build from the slab up.  
Our Trade Centre's take the pick/pack and delivery of these bulk products out of our store environment which allows our stores to focus on giving the best customer experience and supporting other trades. 

 
As a Forklift Operator, you will play an essential role in the efficient operation of our Trade Centre by ensuring the smooth movement of stock, products, and materials. You will be responsible for safely operating a forklift to transport goods, load and unload deliveries, and maintain accurate inventory records. This role is vital to supporting our trade customers and ensuring the timely delivery of products for their projects. 

These are full-time and part-time roles that require the flexibility to work morning and afternoon shifts to ensure we can provide the best experience to our customers. 
 
Our Trade Centre's are busy supporting our trade customers regardless of weather or season, so we're always on the lookout for great team to join us. If you're looking to start a career with Bunnings, take the first step and apply today!
