SCHOOL BASED TRAINEE - WAREHOUSING

  • Are you someone who is prepared to work hard.
  • Do you see yourself as a genuine team player and would hate to be considered the slack one on the team.
  • Are you trying to work out what you are going to do with yourself after school.

This is an opportunity for you to undertake a School Based Traineeship that will enable you to earn some cash but also undertake a Traineeship in Warehousing. This is a great opportunity to get an extremely useful qualification whilst you are still at school finishing your HSC.

 

Our client is a relaxed, family friendly local business that is looking for a new committed staff member to join the team as soon as possible. You’ll be working in a very fast paced warehouse that is flat out everyday! You’ll also have the chance to travel to different site locations with the team to assist with the erection and pack down part of their service. 

 

So, if you have a gym membership you can cancel that because you will be doing heavy lifting, you’ll end up with biceps and shoulders like Hercules. You’ll be trained in picking and packing orders, how to interpret purchase orders, how to safely pack pallets ready for transport and storage, learn how to operate a forklift and how to clean and maintain all equipment.

 

As mentioned this will be run as a traineeship so you’ll get a formal ticket whilst working.

This business also has a great track record with upskilling and internal promotion.

 

So, if you're keen to get a truck licence, prove that you’re committed and hardworking, these guys will help you get it. If you like the idea of starting at the bottom and working towards the top, then this is the business for you.

 

When you work with Squad we make sure all your pay is under control, so no getting short changed for your hard work and we also make sure you have all the PPE you need.

 

Please email kyle.breust@squad.org.au to apply.
