The High Reach Forklift Storeperson is responsible for safely operating a high-reach forklift, receiving and checking stock, put-away and replenishment, order picking, stock movement, and maintaining accurate warehouse records. Candidates are generally expected to hold a current Australian forklift licence, have relevant warehouse or distribution experience, and demonstrate safe manual-handling practices. Reliability, physical fitness, attention to detail, teamwork, and the ability to follow procedures are important. DHL will expect the successful candidate to meet productivity and quality targets, maintain a clean work area, comply with site safety requirements, and work flexible shifts where required. Previous experience with warehouse management systems and high-reach equipment is advantageous.
DHL is a global logistics and supply-chain company operating in more than 220 countries and territories. Its services include express delivery, freight forwarding, warehousing, contract logistics, supply-chain management, and e-commerce fulfilment. In Australia, DHL supports businesses across industries such as retail, healthcare, technology, automotive, and manufacturing. The company operates distribution centres, transport networks, and specialist logistics facilities, employing people in warehouse, transport, customer service, technology, and management roles. DHL places strong emphasis on safety, service quality, operational efficiency, sustainability, and employee development. The business is part of DHL Group, which also includes DHL Express, DHL Global Forwarding, DHL Supply Chain, and DHL eCommerce. A warehouse role with DHL can provide structured training, exposure to large-scale logistics operations, and opportunities to progress into team-leading, inventory, transport, or site-management positions.
Australia offers regular opportunities in warehousing, freight, transport, construction, healthcare, hospitality, technology, and skilled trades, particularly around Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional distribution hubs. Workplace culture is generally practical, safety-conscious, and relatively informal, with emphasis on punctuality, teamwork, and clear communication. Lifestyle varies from busy coastal cities to quieter regional areas, with outdoor activities, beaches, national parks, and a multicultural community. Living costs can be high, especially rent in major cities. For relocation, skilled workers may consider employer-sponsored visas, state or territory nomination, or eligible working-holiday options; requirements depend on nationality, occupation, age, qualifications, and sponsorship. Applicants should check current rules through the Australian Department of Home Affairs. A forklift licence must normally be recognised or obtained under Australian regulations, and a tax file number and local bank account are useful for employment.
