Labour Hire Moorabbin and Braeside

Bluestone Labour Group supplies production hands, storepersons, forklift operators and despatch staff to manufacturers and warehouses in Moorabbin, Braeside, Mordialloc, Cheltenham, Heatherton and Dingley Village. Below is the work we see across the Kingston industrial belt, the roles that fit it and how a booking works.

The City of Kingston describes itself as a manufacturing powerhouse, and its planning scheme calls the local industrial sector one of the largest and most concentrated in Victoria, with manufacturing the biggest part of the economy. State policy protects the industrial land at Moorabbin, Moorabbin Airport, Braeside and Clayton South as regionally significant. The older streets of Moorabbin, Cheltenham and Braeside hold small and medium manufacturers, while the newer garden estates in Braeside hold larger firms. Plastics and chemical products lead, with printing, automotive and food manufacturing alongside. Since the Mordialloc Freeway opened in 2021, linking the Mornington Peninsula Freeway to the Dingley Bypass, the Braeside and Dingley estates have had a direct freeway run.

Local demand

The work we see across Kingston

Plastics and chemical product manufacturing, the area's largest industries, where batch runs, changeovers and chemical handling rules decide how many hands a shift needs.
Small and medium manufacturers in the older Moorabbin, Cheltenham and Braeside streets, which often need one or two reliable people rather than a crew.
Larger plants and warehouses in the Braeside garden estates, running two shifts and their own stores.
Printing, automotive parts and food manufacturing, each with its own safety, quality or hygiene rules for the first shift.
Workshops, aviation businesses and light industry around Moorabbin Airport, which the planning scheme describes as one of the busiest airports in Australia.

Engagement

How we staff small plants and large ones

Kingston's manufacturers range from small workshops to two shift plants, and the request looks different at each. A small plant usually needs one or two people who can be trusted to turn up and learn the job, while a larger one needs a steady group on a roster. We ask about the work, the machines and the shift before we offer anyone, and we keep the same people on your site where we can.

Every worker is a casual employee on our payroll, engaged under the award that covers the work and checked against the duties before the first shift, with warehouse roles under the Storage Services and Wholesale Award 2020. We pay the wages, superannuation and WorkCover, check right to work and sight High Risk Work Licences. You receive one weekly invoice from the timesheets your supervisor approves.

Machine specific training and sign off stay with you, on your plant. Give us as much notice as you can, especially for a second shift, and if we cannot fill a request we say so. There is no sign up fee and no lock in contract.
