Sorter

Dragonfly is building out its Australian delivery network, and the Adelaide market is a key focus. The company brings decades of experience from Canada and is now a nimble, on-the-ground operation in Australia, focused on reliable, timely deliveries and a strong customer experience. The Sorter role sits onsite at the Regency Park delivery station, and it’s a part-time position designed for someone who wants a steady morning routine, real hands-on work, and a clear path to grow with a growing team. If you like rolling up your sleeves, working closely with teammates, and starting your day with a solid win, this could be a fit.

As a Sorter, you’ll be part of the frontline crew responsible for getting packages properly prepared for routes. You’ll rotate through loading activities, scanning and labeling parcels, and sorting items by route number to keep deliveries on track. The work is real-time and team-driven, and you’ll be contributing to reliable, door-to-door service across Australia. The environment is described as fast-paced but with a collaborative, hands-on spirit, and you’ll wear the same hat as everyone else: making sure the next mile of deliveries is ready to go.

Sorting at dawn at the Regency Park hub

In the mornings, you’ll join a team to unload trucks, then scan, label and sort parcels so the right items head to the right routes. The job emphasizes accuracy and speed in a teamwork-focused setting, and you’ll be asked to stay on your feet and maintain attention to detail throughout your shift. This role includes a four-hour block, with lifting up to 20 kg as part of the daily routine, and you’ll be expected to keep safety and efficiency front and centre as deliveries are prepared for the day.

What we’re looking for in a sorter

Must-have items include the ability to unload, scan, label and sort parcels by route number with precision, contributing to smooth and timely deliveries. You should work safely and effectively in a fast-paced, team-based environment while keeping a sharp eye for detail. Physical readiness is important too, as the job requires lifting up to 20 kg and staying active for a four-hour shift. Reliability, punctuality and a positive attitude are essential, along with having dependable transport for early starts. While prior experience in transport, distribution or warehousing is valued, it isn’t required; a strong work ethic and willingness to learn matter just as much.

• You can unload, scan, label and sort parcels by route number with accuracy
• You contribute safely and steadily in a fast-paced, team setting while maintaining careful attention to detail
• You are comfortable lifting up to 20 kg and standing or moving for a four-hour shift
• You show reliability, punctuality and a positive attitude, and you have dependable transport for early starts
• You may have some background in transport, distribution or warehousing, but you’re eager to learn and grow

Nice-to-have items include any formal experience in related logistics fields, though the company notes that strong work ethic and a willingness to learn can matter more than specific background.

• Experience in transport, distribution or warehousing is a plus, but not required

Pay, shifts and practical details

The role offers an award hourly rate for the day shift, with on-site parking available at the Regency Park site. Shifts run Monday through Friday, from 6:30 am to 10:30 am, and you’ll need to be available for at least three weekdays. The setup reflects stable morning hours designed to help balance work and life, with an emphasis on reliable routines and a dependable start to the day. The physical aspects include lifting parcels up to 20 kg and being on your feet through the four-hour shift, so a practical, safety-conscious approach to work is expected.

Tips to stand out in this role

Lead with your availability for early-morning shifts and your ability to commit to a minimum of three weekdays. In your resume, place that information up top so the team can see your regular pattern right away.

Show concrete examples of how you’ve unloaded, scanned, labeled and sorted parcels by route number in a team setting. If you have related experience, describe how you kept deliveries on track under time pressure and how you maintained accuracy in a hands-on environment.

Be ready to talk about the physical side of the job, lifting up to 20 kg and standing or moving for a four-hour shift. Share how you stay safe and focused during practical, fast-paced tasks and how you approach attention to detail when handling multiple parcels at once.

Consider asking a targeted question at interview time, such as what genuine opportunities to learn and grow look like as Dragonfly expands across Australia, or how the Adelaide hub fits into Dragonfly’s broader expansion plans. A thoughtful question based on the company’s growth can show you’re thinking beyond today and eager to contribute to the bigger picture.
