About Us

Jumbo is a locally owned southeast Queensland waste management, resource recovery and recycling group.

We're a hands-on, no-nonsense team that takes safety seriously and looks after our people.

This is a casual role with good hours - averaging 30 to 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday with the occasional Saturday.

• Cleaning and general upkeep of machinery, tools and equipment

• Supporting plant operators, drivers, maintenance staff and supervisors with day-to-day tasks

• Working safely at all times, wearing your PPE, and reporting hazards and near misses

What We're Looking For

• A strong work ethic and genuine reliability - you turn up, on time, every day

• Ability to perform the inherent physical requirements of the role, including frequent manual handling, lifting, bending, climbing, and prolonged standing and walking in an outdoor industrial environment

• A safety-first attitude and willingness to follow procedures and SWMS

• Good communication skills and the ability to work well in a team

• Current driver's licence and own reliable transport

Highly Regarded (Not Essential)

• Previous experience in recycling, waste, quarry, civil or construction environments

• White Card

• Forklift (LF) licence

• Plant tickets - front-end loader, excavator or similar

• Truck license

What's On Offer

• Casual position with good hours - generally 30–40 hours per week

• Monday to Friday, with the occasional Saturday

• Good pay rates, plus overtime

• Support to gain tickets over time for the right candidate

• A stable, growing local business and a supportive, down-to-earth team
