Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Pallet Controller supports the accurate movement, tracking and reconciliation of pallets across distribution centres, stores, suppliers and transport providers. Requirements typically include warehouse or logistics administration experience, strong attention to detail, basic computer and data-entry skills, and the ability to work with inventory or transport systems. The successful candidate is expected to maintain accurate pallet records, investigate discrepancies, communicate with internal teams and external carriers, follow safety procedures, meet deadlines and work effectively in a fast-paced environment. Flexibility for operational hours, practical problem-solving skills and a commitment to accuracy and teamwork are important.
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.
