Yard Coordinator

Hoban Recruitment is partnering with a well-established national organisation to recruit a Yard Team Member for their Geelong site. This is a hands-on, outdoor role suited to someone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in maintaining a safe and organised yard, and is looking for long-term, stable employment with development opportunities.

This role operates within an auction cycle environment, offering a steady pace of work with natural peaks and quieter periods-ideal for someone who prefers consistency over high-pressure, fast-paced settings.

About the role

As part of the Yard team, you'll play a key role in supporting day-to-day yard operations, equipment handling, and customer interactions. Your responsibilities will include:

• Receiving, checking in/out, and positioning equipment within the yard

• Operating a forklift to load and unload equipment

• Assisting with equipment setup, basic assembly, inspections, and general yard upkeep

• Conducting basic checks such as fuel and fluid levels

• Supporting auction days with signage, layout, and presentation

• Providing friendly, professional service to customers on site and via phone

• Using handheld devices and systems to support yard operations

This is a practical, physical role with the majority of time spent working outdoors.

What we're looking for

We're keen to hear from candidates who bring:

• Valid forklift licence (essential)

• Current driver's licence

• Experience working in yard, construction, transport, equipment, or outdoor environments

• A strong work ethic and reliable long-term employment history

• Comfort using basic technology and handheld systems

• A safety-focused, team-oriented attitude

Additional tickets or licences are advantageous but not essential.

Hours & conditions

• Monday to Friday | 8:00am - 5:00pm (40 hours per week)

• Overtime available, paid at double time

• Occasional Saturday work required

What's in it for you?

• Long-term career opportunity with training, upskilling, and development

• Stable, supportive team environment

• Predictable work structure aligned to auction cycles

• Less high-pressure than fast-paced yard or logistics operations
