National Pallet Controller
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The National Pallet Controller manages pallet movements, balances and records across Primary Connect’s national distribution network. Requirements typically include experience in pallet control, inventory, transport or warehouse operations; strong administrative and data-management skills; attention to detail; and confidence communicating with suppliers, carriers, distribution centres and stores. Familiarity with pallet hire systems, reconciliation, reporting and Microsoft Office is valuable. The successful candidate is expected to investigate discrepancies, reduce pallet losses and costs, maintain accurate records, support operational compliance and build effective relationships across multiple sites. The role also requires initiative, problem-solving ability, organisation and a practical understanding of supply-chain processes. A current Australian work right is generally required.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Sales assistants and shop-floor staff are not on the Core Skills list; only retail managers and buyers can be sponsored, at AUD 79,423+; a working holiday visa is the usual route for shop work.
Before you apply: Shop-floor jobs need no professional licence. Pharmacists do: they must register with the local regulator, and one qualified abroad often has to pass local exams first. Selling alcohol can need a short course and certificate, for example in Australia.
Watch for: Shop jobs go to people with work rights, including working holiday visa holders (6 months with one employer); there is no sponsorship route for sales assistants.
