Let’s face it, container unloading isn’t for everyone – it can be hard work and very demanding. You could be on your feet for long hours, handling heavy loads, and doing a lot of repetitive tasks. It can test you physically and it often takes a strong work ethic just to keep up. But if you’re the kind of person that relishes a good challenge and isn’t afraid to crack in and get on with it, this could be the perfect gig for you!

What we’re looking for
- You’ll be on your feet for long hours and may be lifting heavy loads, so being physically capable is a must.
