About the General Assistant Position
The General Assistant will provide practical support within Macsteel’s warehouse environment. The role involves working with stock and materials, preparing products for delivery, assisting with loading and unloading activities, and maintaining an organised and safe workplace.

The successful employee will work closely with other members of the warehouse team and may be required to assist with different tasks depending on operational requirements.
Key Responsibilities
The General Assistant will be responsible for a range of warehouse support activities. These include selecting and preparing stock or materials and ensuring that items are placed in their designated locations.
The employee will also assist the crane operator when materials need to be slung and positioned safely. This includes supporting the preparation and handling of materials intended for customer deliveries.
Another important part of the role involves getting products ready for transportation. The successful candidate will assist with the loading and unloading of vehicles and help ensure that materials are handled and identified correctly.
The position also requires participation in stocktaking activities. This means the employee may assist the warehouse team when stock counts and related inventory checks are conducted.
Maintaining good housekeeping standards will also be an important responsibility. The warehouse must remain orderly and compliant with company standards, and the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to keeping the working environment clean and organised.
Employees must follow Macsteel’s workplace rules, procedures, policies and approved methods of working. They may also be required to perform additional reasonable and lawful duties as instructed by management.
Correct product identification is particularly important. The employee must ensure that the appropriate labels are placed on the correct bundles so that materials can be accurately identified and handled.

The ideal candidate should be energetic, enthusiastic, hardworking and willing to contribute positively to the warehouse team.
Working Hours and Flexibility
Applicants should understand that this position requires a degree of flexibility. The successful candidate must be prepared to work overtime or flexible shifts when operational requirements demand it.
The role may also involve night-shift work, meaning applicants should be comfortable working outside conventional daytime hours when required.
Candidates must also be willing to undergo training and learn the correct procedures for carrying out their responsibilities safely and efficiently.
Workplace Safety
Safety is an important requirement of the position. The successful employee will be expected to wear the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) and comply with the company’s safety requirements to help prevent workplace injuries.
Following established procedures, instructions and company policies is essential when handling stock, assisting with material movement and performing other warehouse activities.
