Forklift Operator jobs in Perth, paid the day after you work.
Perth’s distribution spine runs through Kewdale, Welshpool and the airport gateway, serving the biggest state footprint in the country. MyGig’s Perth warehouse pool is newer than our east-coast base and growing: pick-pack, storeperson and forklift cover is strongest close to that Kewdale core.
An LF licence is one of the highest-leverage tickets in casual work: forklift shifts pay above general hand rates and fill everywhere freight moves. Typical requirements: high risk work licence (lf); lo for order pickers.
