Description
We're hiring Asphalt Production Operators to join our crew at our two metropolitan asphalt plants in Perth. Our Gosnells facility is located in the Tonkin Highway industrial corridor and our Hope Valley plant sits south of Kwinana, both well positioned and easy to access from across Perth's southern suburbs. If you've got experience in asphalt production, concrete batching, quarry or crushing operations, fixed-plant processing, or you're stepping up from a civil construction or labouring background into plant operations, we'd like to hear from you. THE ROLE This is a hands-on production role. You'll operate plant and mobile equipment, support daily production activities, troubleshoot issues as they come up, manage raw materials, and assist with preventative maintenance. The asphalt we produce goes straight onto Perth's roads, so quality and safety aren't optional. There is also a customer-facing element to this role. You'll interact with drivers and customers at the plant, so clear and professional communication matters. Internally, you'll need to coordinate effectively with your crew and other teams to keep production running smoothly. WHAT YOU'LL NEED * C Class Licence and General Construction Induction Card (essential) * A mechanical mindset. Experience as a fitter, in batching, or in plant operations is a strong advantage * Capability to operate mobile equipment such as a front end loader or forklift * Strong communication skills, both with customers on site and within your team * A team-first attitude with genuine willingness to learn * Flexibility around shift work, which is compensated through shift penalties and overtime uplifts * A real commitment to working safely and looking out for your crew WHAT WE OFFER * Competitive hourly rate with shift penalties on top * Stable, full-time work backed by a strong pipeline of projects across Perth * Comprehensive on-the-job training, ongoing internal learning opportunities, and support to gain additional tickets and qualifications as you develop in the role * The ability to climb quickly if you show promise. This is a role where the right attitude and work ethic get noticed * Overtime, RDOs, and annual pay increases * Career progression opportunities across Downer's national network * A team culture built on safety, teamwork, and Zero Harm APPLY Click "Apply" below and submit your resume.
