Key accountabilities

Due to the physically demanding nature of this work, you will be required to demonstrate you can safely lift and pass a 'lashing bar lifting test' prior to employment as part of a broader pre-employment medical and physical assessment.
  • Pins – This is the locking and unlocking of heavy twist locks, which secure containers together and to the deck of a ship to prevent movement while at sea. This work is performed underneath a crane close to lots of moving machinery.
  • ITV (internal transfer vehicles) – Driving automatic internal road trucks with 40ft capacity from the STS cranes to positions within the terminal for discharge and the opposite for load.

A 2-week initial induction and training program will be provided including training on lashing and pins.
