The role
We are currently seeking people to join our Brisbane team in the position of a Casual or “Supplementary” General Stevedore.
Our workforce is readily available 24/7 to provide our customers with seamless access to container terminal facilities in Australia around the clock. In this this role you will be required to work shift work, across 7 days a week. You will be employed on a casual basis with no guarantee of shifts.
As a Stevedore you will work outdoors on our customer's ships and with our container handling equipment. You will perform three main tasks:
- Lashing – This is the use of heavy rigging equipment to secure shipping containers to the deck of a ship. Due to the physically demanding nature of this work, you will be required to pass a pre-employment medical and physical assessment.
- Pins – This is the locking and unlocking of twist locks, which secure containers together and to the deck of a ship to prevent movement while at sea. This work is performed underneath a crane and in the vicinity of other mobile plant.
- Straddle driving - A Straddle is a 60-tonne heavy vehicle used to move shipping containers. Straddle drivers sit in a cabin approximately 12 metres high – so this is not well suited to those with a fear of heights!
In all of the above three tasks, a high attention to safety is critical. A 10 day initial induction and training program will be provided including training on lashing and pins. Training on the straddle will occur at a later time.
