• Excellent communication and organisational skills

• Knowledge of industry related standards and specifications

• Ability to work within tight deadlines in a quality manner

• Carrying out fixed plant inspection check lists

• Maintaining a neat and tidy site and work area

• Initiating and communicating ideas that improve efficiency, reduce waste and costs

• Actively participate in preventative maintenance, toolbox discussions and safety meetings

How you’ll connect to the role?

• Ability to work well as part of a team, coordinating with other plant operators to achieve production goals

• Have knowledge of operating and maintaining fixed production equipment, such as mixers, conveyors, and drying units

• Experienced in operating front end loader and forklift

• Good verbal and written communication skills to effectively interact with team members and supervisors

• Strict adherence to safety guidelines and protocols to prevent accidents and maintain a safe working environment

• Familiarity with using computers and software for data entry and equipment monitoring

• Want to be rewarded for the good work you do? Apply now to learn more about the applicable hourly rate and allowances.

• Looking for a company that places people at the heart of everything? Our Living Safely culture ensures that we care for ourselves, each other and the communities that we work in.

• Keen to progress your career? We invest in our people’s career development and provide pathways in the form of apprenticeships, traineeships, or certificate(s) opportunities. If additional tickets and licenses are required, we can help with that too.

• Never worked in our industry before? We open new doors for people with transferable skills and experiences, helping them to thrive in the world of infrastructure construction. Where applicable, we provide training and support to help you succeed in the role.

• Looking to enhance your wellbeing? We offer benefits, including corporate health and fitness programs, health insurance discounts, personal banking support, a range of retailer discounts, and access to our Employee Assistance Program (including your immediate family).

• Want to help us better the communities we live and work in? Our purpose of creating, connecting, and caring for communities is more than a saying to us – it’s a way of thinking, working, and living because we're locals too, and seek to give back in ways that strengthen and build resilient communities. 

Our people share the same set of values that keep us REAL. Respect, Energy and Effort, Attitude and Leadership are what we stand for at Fulton Hogan and encourage us to foster a diverse and inclusive culture where we listen to, care for, celebrate, and respect everyone.

We are committed to reconciliation and building and nurturing respectful relationships with First Nations peoples. Through our First Nations Engagement Strategy and Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we aim to promote opportunities, cultural understanding and partnerships that celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of Indigenous communities.

If our REAL values resonate with you, please submit an application for the position.

If you’re not sure that you meet 100% of the selection criteria, that’s okay, we would still like to hear from you and potentially discuss how your skills could be utilised at Fulton Hogan.
