Forklift Driver – Supporting Remote Communities
Maxima is proud to partner with a national not-for-profit organisation working to improve access to fresh, affordable food for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across remote Australia.
This role directly supports the delivery of healthy food into communities where access is limited — helping make a real difference every day.
We strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This is an identified position under Section 56 of the Equal Opportunity Act.
About the Opportunity
You’ll join a supportive warehouse team based in a modern, purpose-built distribution facility in Edinburgh, helping prepare and dispatch fresh produce and grocery orders travelling to remote communities across Australia.
This is an ongoing casual role with full-time hours Monday to Friday, and a clear pathway to permanent employment.

– Loading and unloading trucks using a forklift
– Moving pallets in and out of racking
– Preparing orders for remote community delivery
– Picking and packing fresh produce and grocery items
– Breaking down pallets
– Supporting stock movement within the warehouse
– Maintaining a safe and organised workspace
Reach truck experience is helpful but not essential — training can be provided.

– Identifies as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
– Holds a current Forklift Licence
– Is reliable and enjoys working as part of a team
