Are you experienced in operating mobile plant, heavy vehicle machinery, front end loader and looking to build a long-term career in a dynamic, evolving environment? As part of an exciting transformation across our Adelaide Ports operations, we’re creating new Terminal Operator roles and are looking for motivated, switched-on individuals to join the team.
About the Role
Following recent investments and strategic improvement in our Adelaide Ports operations, and as part of an award-winning team recently recognised globally for its proactive safety culture, we are excited to offer multiple new Terminal Operator opportunities at our Port Adelaide sites.

You’ll collaborate closely with your team and build connections across the broader business, with opportunities to expand your skillset and, where required, support other sites during periods of operational need.
