This is a hands-on, fast-paced role that plays an important part in our recycling operations.

In this role, you’ll also help keep the yard clean, assist with general labouring duties, and adhok duties to support our processing operations.
What we’re looking for:
We’re after a reliable, motivated individual who’s ready to roll up their sleeves. While experience in recycling or conveyor work is a bonus, it’s not essential – we’re happy to train the right person.
You’ll succeed in this role if you:
Are physically fit and enjoy hands-on work
Have a good eye for detail and can stay focused
Work well independently and as part of a team
Understand basic safety practices (or are willing to learn)
Can pass a drug and ******* test
Bonus points for:
Experience in recycling, warehousing, or a similar industry
Familiarity with conveyor belt operations
Why join Sims?
Ongoing full-time opportunity, covered by our VIC Enterprise Agreement
Supportive team environment with approachable management
Career progression and upskilling available for the right person
Be part of a company that values safety, sustainability, and your future
Apply now and start your journey with a company that’s helping build a cleaner, greener world—one piece at a time.
