Caloundra, QLD 4551
Full Time
We are seeking Highly Skilled Heavy Plant Operators for long-term, stable roles within the waste management sector. This isn't your standard civil dirt-shifting gig-we need experienced operators who understand the unique pace, compaction requirements, and safety standards of a busy waste facility. If you can jump into the seat of heavy scrapers, push serious bulk with a D9, and handle the biggest compactors in the business without breaking a sweat, we want to hear from you. The Machinery To be successful, you must have proven, verifiable experience operating at least three of the following:
Scrapers: Caterpillar 637G & 623E (Dual-engine and elevating experience is essential)
Track Dozer: Caterpillar D9 (Bulk pushing, batter work, and waste cell maintenance)
Landfill Compactor: Caterpillar 836 / 838 series (The big boys-managing cell compaction and daily cover)
What You Need to Bring
Tickets & Experience: Valid RIIMPO tickets (or verified VOCs) with extensive production hours on the machinery listed above.
Waste Industry Know-How: Prior experience working in landfills, waste management facilities, or major resource recovery centers is highly regarded.
Safety First Attitude: Waste environments move fast. You must have a sharp eye for ground crew, spotters, and changing site conditions.
Reliability: A solid work ethic, a clean drug & alcohol screen, and a current driver's license.
What's in it for You?
Top Rates: Highly competitive hourly rates with plenty of overtime available.
Job Security: The waste industry never stops-enjoy consistent, year-round work.
Modern Fleet: Work with well-maintained, late-model heavy machinery.
Quick Turnaround: We are looking to onboard the right operators immediately.
