UGL’s Yardperson role in Australia typically involves receiving, storing, loading and distributing tools, equipment, materials and consumables within a work yard or depot. Requirements may include previous yard, warehouse, logistics or construction experience, a current driver’s licence, safe manual-handling practices and the ability to use forklifts or other material-handling equipment where required. Candidates are expected to work reliably in outdoor conditions, maintain accurate stock records, follow UGL and client safety procedures, keep the yard organised and support trades and project teams efficiently. A forklift licence, relevant tickets and experience in rail, utilities, mining or infrastructure environments may be advantageous.

As part of the CIMIC Group, UGL works with government agencies, asset owners and major industrial customers throughout Australia and internationally. Its work includes designing and building infrastructure, maintaining operational assets, providing facilities services and supporting large, long-term projects. UGL employs skilled tradespeople, engineers, project professionals and support staff across metropolitan, regional and remote locations.

Australia offers job opportunities in construction, infrastructure, rail, mining, logistics, health care, technology and renewable energy. Regional and remote projects can provide strong demand for yard, warehouse and trades workers, although work may involve rosters and outdoor conditions. Australian culture is generally informal, diverse and safety-conscious, with a strong focus on workplace rights and work-life balance. Lifestyle varies from major-city living in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide to quieter regional communities and coastal areas. Skilled workers may enter through employer-sponsored visas, skilled migration programs or temporary work pathways, subject to occupation, experience, English and health requirements. Before relocating, check the official Department of Home Affairs website, confirm recognition of licences such as forklift tickets, arrange accommodation and understand tax, superannuation, transport and health-insurance requirements. Australia is geographically large, so travel between project locations can be expensive and time-consuming.
