Operations Trainee

Job no: 495461
Work type: Permanent Full Time
Location: QLD - Brisbane
Categories: Trainee

Operations Trainee | Bundamba, Brisbane

Looking to kick-start your career in Transport & Logistics?

Northline is looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Operations Trainee to join our team at our Bundamba Warehouse in Brisbane.

This is a fantastic entry-level opportunity for someone who is keen to learn, develop new skills and build a long-term career within the transport and logistics industry.

This is not your typical office-based role. As an Operations Trainee, you will gain hands-on experience across different areas of our Warehouse, supporting both our administration team and our operational floor. One day you may be assisting with data entry, paperwork and customer enquiries, and the next you could be supporting the team on the floor and learning how our freight operations come together.

We are looking for someone who is flexible, willing to get involved and eager to learn. If you already have a Forklift Licence, that is a great advantage. If you do not, that is okay too. We can support you in obtaining one, provided you are willing to learn and gain your licence.

This is an excellent opportunity to secure a permanent full-time position with an established Australian-owned transport company while developing practical skills and experience across a range of operational areas.

Key Responsibilities

As an Operations Trainee, you will learn and assist with a variety of tasks, including:

Supporting the day-to-day administration and operational activities of the Warehouse.
Providing friendly and professional service to drivers, visitors and customers.
Completing data entry and ensuring information and documentation are accurately recorded in our systems.
Preparing and processing paperwork relating to freight pickups and deliveries.
Assisting the operations team on the depot floor as required.
Working closely with different teams to help ensure freight is processed and deliveries are not missed.
Following all relevant site safety procedures and instructions.
Learning different aspects of our transport and logistics operations as you develop in the role.

What Are We Looking For?

We value the right attitude and a genuine willingness to learn. Experience in transport and logistics is not required, but it will be highly regarded.

To be successful, you will:

Be enthusiastic about developing a career in Transport & Logistics.
Be flexible and willing to work across both administration duties and hands-on operational tasks on the depot floor.
Have a positive attitude, strong work ethic and willingness to learn new skills.
Be comfortable working in a busy, fast-paced environment.
Have good communication and customer service skills.
Be organised, reliable and able to manage competing priorities.
Have good attention to detail and basic computer skills, including Microsoft Office.
Be willing to obtain a Forklift Licence if you do not already hold one.
A current Forklift Licence would be highly regarded but is not essential.

About Our Benefits

Learning, training and development support: Northline believes in the people we hire. We promote from within and offer opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career within the growing freight and logistics industry.
Employee recognition programs: Recognising the value and contribution that both our teams and individuals bring to the Northline operation.
Wellness and benefits programs: Including our Employee Assistance Program, providing support to our teammates when they need it.
