Industry insights

Seasonal demand now starts earlier, with peaks beginning in July and August rather than just before Christmas.

 

Hiring remains strong across retail, wholesale, pharmaceutical, food and beverage manufacturing, freight and recycling.

 

Automation is improving safety and reducing manual handling, but skilled forklift and LO licence holders remain in short supply.

 

Employers face ongoing challenges around reliability, turnover and cultural fit. The right attitude matters as much as experience.

 

For job seekers, stability, fair pay and opportunities to move from casual to permanent roles are key priorities.

FAQs about production and manufacturing jobs

How quickly can roles be filled?

Most placements are made within 24 to 48 hours. Skilled forklift operators and experienced pick packers are often placed the same day.

Are these jobs only casual?

No. Many of our clients use casual roles as a pathway to permanent employment, offering genuine opportunities for long-term stability.

What do employers look for most?

Reliability, safety awareness and the right licences such as LF or LO. Many clients also value attitude and cultural fit just as much as technical skills.

Do agencies take money from candidates?

Never. Our service is free for candidates. We charge clients and handle payroll tax, super, insurance and compliance so you don’t have to.
