K & B Timber & Hardware Pty Ltd (previously Keith Timber Group and Banner Mitre10) is a corporate business with a massive presence in timber and truss manufacturing as well as retail trade and hardware in South Australia. K & B Timber & Hardware Pty Ltd currently expands across 20 sites across SA.
The Role
This is a full-time position available across Monday to Friday and is available for an immediate start.
We are seeking a person to work in our busy distribution site in Edinburgh where they will assist the team in assembling and loading of customer orders to trailers. The person we are seeking will have a positive attitude and be able to demonstrate a strong work ethic.
The successful candidate will need to be a reliable self-starter with a proven history of steady work. We are looking for someone who is not afraid of physical work and understands the demands of working within the building industry; they must be able to work as part of a small team and contribute to the business.
Being part of a close-knit transport team, you will have the ability to work autonomously and together with other assembler/loaders, tray top drivers and semi truck drivers. You will spend majority of your shift on a forklift (side loader and front loader) loading tray tops and semis with uneven loads. This will involve you planning loads and working with timber packs, roof and floor trusses and more that can range in size and include lengths of 15m or more. In this industry, no two loads are the same and therefore, this role takes care, skill and precision. Our loaders and assemblers are highly regarded and are major contributors to our business success.
This position is ideally suited to an experienced assembler/loader who has previous experience working with uneven loads and that include items of more than 10m long.
