Tradestaff Wellington is on the hunt for a legend on the levers – an experienced WTR Operator who’s keen to roll up their sleeves and rip into some serious quarry action. Let's turn up the volume on your workday.

If you're confident on the controls and don’t mind getting your hands dirty with the odd maintenance job, then this one’s for you.

🪨 About the Gig:
This is a full-time, hands-on position where no two days are the same. You’ll be operating a range of machinery and getting involved in all aspects of quarry operations. Key tasks include:
  • Operating diggers, loaders, and dump trucks
  • Performing daily checks and basic maintenance on plant and machinery
  • Assisting with machinery breakdowns and general site duties
It’s physical, it’s fast-paced – You'll need to be adaptable, reliable, and always keen to pitch in with the crew.

 🛠️ What We’re Looking For – Hit the Right Notes:
  • At least 2 years’ experience in a similar WTR operator role
  • A current Wheels, Tracks & Rollers endorsement – your backstage pass to operate
  • A hands-on, can-do attitude and team-focused approach
  • Rock-solid fitness – this gig isn’t for the faint of heart or soft of grip
  • Bonus: Experience with basic plant maintenance and breakdown support

🛠️ What’s in it for You

  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience
  • Steady, full-time hours – up to 60 hours per week
  • Monday to Friday schedule with the occasional Saturday roster
  • Ongoing opportunities to learn and upskill
  • Supportive crew and solid team culture on site
