Labour Hire Derrimut and Deer Park

Bluestone Labour Group supplies production hands, storepersons, forklift operators and civil labourers to manufacturers, warehouses and civil contractors in Derrimut, Deer Park and Ravenhall. Below is how this part of the west differs from the big distribution estates next door, the roles that fit it and how a booking works.

Derrimut and Deer Park are in the City of Brimbank, and Ravenhall is in the City of Melton. The land is older and more mixed than the Truganina estates to the south. Derrimut is one of only two places in metropolitan Melbourne zoned Industrial 2, the zone for uses that need large buffers, so long established manufacturing and hazardous operations sit beside newer logistics buildings drawn by the Western Ring Road. Deer Park's industrial land runs east of Station Road, and Ravenhall holds the Melbourne Regional Landfill, a state significant waste and resource recovery hub, next to a hard rock quarry.

Roles

What sites in Derrimut and Deer Park ask for

Manufacturing and warehouse roles first, with civil for the new industrial land further west.

Production hands

Process, packing and machine assist roles for the manufacturers through Derrimut, where the site induction often runs longer because of what is made or stored nearby.

Storepersons and pick packers

Receival, picking and despatch for the logistics buildings along Boundary Road and Mt Derrimut Road, and for the stores attached to manufacturing plants.

Forklift operators

LF and LO holders for docks, yards and racking. If your site handles dangerous goods, tell us, and we ask about that experience before we offer anyone.

Civil labourers and plant operators

Drainage workers, pipelayers, general labourers and excavator operators for civil contractors on industrial subdivision and road works across the west.

Local demand

The work we see in Derrimut and Deer Park

Manufacturing in Derrimut's Industrial 2 zone, including plants with long established hazardous uses, where site rules, permits and inductions are stricter than in a standard warehouse.
Newer logistics and storage buildings along Boundary Road and Mt Derrimut Road, a short run from the Western Ring Road, working to pick rates and despatch cut offs.
Waste, resource recovery and quarry operations around Ravenhall, which are outdoor and physical and need people who expect that before they arrive.
Civil work on new industrial land, as Derrimut Fields, a large industrial precinct being planned in the City of Melton, moves towards subdivision.
Better rail access since the level crossings at Robinsons Road and Mt Derrimut Road were removed and the new Deer Park station opened in 2023.

We hold Victorian Labour Hire Licence VICLHL11535, granted under the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic). A host that uses an unlicensed provider is exposed too, which is why our licence number is on every page of this site.

Engagement

How we staff mixed manufacturing and logistics sites

Work here is directed, rostered and supervised by you, so every worker we place is a casual employee on our payroll: warehouse roles under the Storage Services and Wholesale Award 2020, civil roles under the Building and Construction General On-site Award 2020, and production roles under the award that covers the work, checked against the duties before the first shift. We pay the wages, superannuation and WorkCover, and you receive one weekly invoice from the timesheets your supervisor approves.

Sites with hazardous uses ask more of a worker before the first shift. Tell us what your induction covers, which permits apply and whether dangerous goods are handled. We check right to work and sight High Risk Work Licences before anyone is offered, then match people to those conditions. Your induction and any permit to work training stay with you.

Give us as much notice as you can, especially for licensed roles and civil crews. We confirm in writing who is coming and which tickets they hold, and if we cannot cover a request we tell you straight away. There is no sign up fee and no lock in contract.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Production hands, storepersons, pick packers and forklift operators for manufacturers and logistics sites in Derrimut, Deer Park, Ardeer and Ravenhall. Tell us about shift times, site rules and any dangerous goods when you book.

Truganina and Laverton North are mostly newer, large format distribution estates. Derrimut and Deer Park mix older manufacturing and hazardous uses with newer logistics buildings, so the roles and inductions differ. Truganina has its own page.

We supply civil labourers, drainage workers, pipelayers and plant operators to civil contractors across the west, engaged under the Building and Construction General On-site Award 2020. Tell us the full crew and ticket mix early, because ticketed civil roles take longer to fill than general labour.

You do, on your own site, and on hazardous sites it has to be that way. We check right to work, licences and relevant experience before a worker is offered. Your induction, permits and any machine sign off happen on site before they start.
