About the Role

We're looking for reliable, motivated and practical individuals to join QPAC's Venue Services team as Dock Officers (Venue Services Officers).

Behind every great performance is a team working hard to keep things running smoothly.

What you'll be doing:

• Receiving, checking, recording and distributing deliveries across QPAC.
• Managing stock, inventory records, replenishment and stocktakes.
• Supporting the day‑to‑day operation of our loading dock and storage areas.
• Assisting with furniture setups, equipment movements and venue requirements.
• Supporting stock management and safe storage practices.
• Conducting routine inspections and reporting maintenance or cleaning requirements.
• Assisting with general facilities tasks, including cleaning, waste removal and basic maintenance support.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues, contractors and suppliers to keep operations running smoothly.
• Maintaining safe, clean, secure and organised loading dock and back‑of‑house areas.

About You

You're someone who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, getting stuck in and making things happen.

You’ll bring a practical, can‑do attitude, enjoy working as part of a team and take pride in getting the job done safely and efficiently. Whether your experience comes from warehousing, logistics, stores or another hands‑on operational environment, we’d love to hear from you.

What you'll bring:

• Experience in warehousing, logistics, stock handling, stores or a similar operational environment.
• Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
• A positive attitude and willingness to pitch in wherever needed.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well with others.
• Confidence using basic computer systems or a willingness to learn.
• The ability to safely undertake manual handling and physical tasks.
• A commitment to workplace health and safety.
• Reliability, flexibility and a practical approach to problem‑solving.
• Experience with basic maintenance tasks or hand and power tools, along with a current C Class Driver's Licence, will be highly regarded.
