Kylie Brennan
Certified Forklift Operator | High-Reach and Counterbalance Specialist
Bayside Freight Logistics
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in the Forklift Operator position currently available at Bayside Freight Logistics. Having spent several years operating both high-reach and counterbalance equipment across busy freight and warehousing sites in Melbourne, I am keen to contribute my practical material-handling skills and disciplined focus on workplace safety to your distribution operations.
In my current role at Southern Cross Beverage Logistics, I operate high-reach electric and counterbalance forklifts in an active multi-temperature facility. I routinely stage, load, and unload palletised inventory while upholding rigorous chain of responsibility standards and pedestrian exclusion zones. Using RF scanners alongside the warehouse management system, I have maintained a 99.4% pick and put-away accuracy rate across daily movement tasks. In addition, I perform strict pre-operational equipment inspections each shift to identify maintenance issues early and keep equipment operating safely.
Prior to this, at Port Phillip Cargo Solutions, I operated gas counterbalance forklifts to unload shipping containers and store pallets securely in designated racking bays. My responsibilities included securing consolidated transport consignments under national load restraint guidelines, as well as assisting with weekly cyclic stock counts. Backed by a Certificate III in Supply Chain Operations and a current WorkSafe Victoria LF High Risk Work Licence, I understand the importance of steady dispatch workflows, inventory integrity, and site safety protocols.
I welcome the opportunity to bring my hands-on forklift experience and commitment to incident-free operation to the Bayside Freight Logistics team. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to discussing how my background aligns with your warehouse requirements.
Yours sincerely,
Kylie Brennan
