We're hiring Freight Handlers for the seasonal peak at some of Australia's largest postal networks including Australia Post, StarTrack, Linfox, Couriers Please and loads more. We help them find experienced casual warehousing general assistants and freight handlers on a regular basis all across Brisbane regions and beyond.
You’ll be sorting parcels and mail, manually and with machine assistance, to keep deliveries moving through the busiest stretch of the year. If you’re looking for variety in your day, this is the job for you.
Sidekicker connects you with shift work – you’ll be paid weekly with Sidekicker as your employer of record, with shifts booked directly through our app with a range of similar companies across Queensland and the rest of the country. No waiting for people to message you back or reply to emails – book it all in with just a couple of clicks. Whether you want to make Sidekicker your main source of income, or you’re just looking to pick up some extra shifts that your current employer can’t fill, we got you covered. Work as much or as little as you like.
Every client we work with is safety-audited by our own internal safety team before you’re sent there, so you’re set up properly (and safely) from day one. Every shift starts with you showing up, but every shift ends with you getting home safe. That second part is the one we’ll never compromise on.
What you’ll typically be doing during your shift:
- Manually sorting parcels and mail, with both machine and scanner assistance
- Loading and unloading parcels from bags, trays, containers, and cages
- Assisting with operating load-shifting equipment (eg pallet jacks, stackers, conveyors, etc)
- Order picking and labelling
- Assisting with the loading and unloading of trucks and containers
What you’ll need:
- To be fit and strong – comfortable with physically demanding work, including regular (and safe) lifting up to 16kg objects
- Basic PPE gear – including your own hi-vis vest, appropriate pants/shorts, and steel-capped boots
- A valid police check, or ability to complete a statutory declaration
- Good memory recall and hand-eye coordination
- Able to handle parcels that may contain meat and/or alcohol products
All eligible visa holders are encouraged to apply.
Be careful – Don’t provide your bank or credit card details when applying for jobs. Don't transfer any money or complete suspicious online surveys. If you see something suspicious, report this job ad.
