About the Role

As a Yard Coordinator at our Geraldton branch, you'll be the backbone of our operation — keeping the yard running safely, equipment moving efficiently, and customers leaving happy. No two days look the same, and your work makes a real difference to the team and the clients we serve.

A typical day might see you loading up a scissor lift before sunrise, running through hire checks mid-morning, and helping a customer get their gear sorted in the afternoon — all while keeping the yard spotless and safe.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Safely load and unload equipment using correct handling and load restraint procedures
  • Pre- and post-hire equipment checks to keep everything in top working condition
  • General yard duties — cleaning, organising and maintaining equipment and facilities
  • Basic servicing and minor repairs of non-high-risk equipment in a workshop environment
  • Stock control and accurate record-keeping including checklists and safety paperwork
  • Customer assistance — helping with equipment pickups and returns in a professional, friendly manner
  • Compliance with all safety standards, company policies and procedures

What You’ll Get in Return

We look after our people. As part of the Coates team you’ll have access to:

  • Attractive hourly rates + penalty rates on overtime
  • Permanent position — real job security
  • Training and career progression pathways — we invest in your future
  • Flexible working options — let’s talk about what works best for you
  • Employee discounts on equipment hire and access to our benefits program
  • Purchased additional leave
  • Novated leasing and salary sacrifice options

What You’ll Bring

You’ll have hands-on experience in a similar role, plus:

  • Current forklift licence and valid driver’s licence
  • High-risk work competencies — forklift, scissor lifts, boom lifts
  • Load restraint knowledge and experience loading/unloading equipment
  • Strong safety mindset with working knowledge of JSEAs and Take 5s
  • Previous experience in the mining or resources industry
  • Basic mechanical knowledge and aptitude
  • HR licence (desirable but not essential)
