About the Role

The Port & Rail team is currently seeking an Operator Port Production to join them on a 14 on, 14 off, days and nights FIFO roster based at Port Hedland.

In this position, you’ll be hands-on across the operation—inspecting conveyors, stockyard and outloading equipment, and identifying and responding to faults or changing conditions to ensure that areas are safe and ready for work.

You’ll work closely with other port operators and the Perth-based Remote Operations Centre to keep product moving safely and reliably. It’s a role for someone who enjoys being out in the field, solving practical problems and taking ownership of the details that make each shift run well.
