A casual role is available in Beardmore, Queensland for anyone experienced with machinery or keen to jump into seasonal cotton work. This position starts early July 2025 and runs for 3 to 4 months. Pay is $33.33 an hour, with additional penalties depending on shift hours. The job involves operating a trash truck to collect leftover cotton waste from the ginning process. It’s an outdoor role in a fast-paced work area, and you’ll need to be physically up for the task. Conditions can be hot, dusty, or cold, so it suits someone already used to field or yard work. If you can handle long days and like machinery, this could be a good fit. Around-the-clock work happens during peak season, so weekend availability is important.
