Delivery Driver / Store Person – Be the Face of Albany's Hospitality Community
Grande Food Service – Albany, WA
Full-time | $30 – $38 per hour (based on experience & ability)
Warehousing, Storage & Distribution – Manufacturing, Transport & Logistics
Are you an early-rising, people-focused driver who wants more than just a run sheet?
Every café breakfast, every pub parmy, every hospital meal in the Great Southern…someone has to make sure the right food shows up, on time, every time.
That someone is you.
At Grande Food Service, we're a locally-owned foodservice distributor that's been backing Albany's hospitality scene for over 20 years. We're not a faceless corporate. We're a tight-knit team of 16 people servicing over 200 customers, from Denmark to Kojonup, with more than 3,000 products.
You won't just be "the delivery guy/gal".
You'll be the person café and restaurant owners know by name and actually look forward to seeing.
What's in it for you
This isn't a dead-end driving job. It's a solid career with real perks:
* $30 – $38 per hour (based on experience and ability), above award
* Gym membership included - we help you stay fit on and off the job
* Staff discounts on foodservice products - save money on quality food at home
* Free barista coffee every day - start your day properly
* Early starts, early finishes - 5:00am start so you get your afternoons back
* Option of a 4-day working week - earn full-time and enjoy longer weekends

* Supportive, no-nonsense team - you're not a number here; we actually know you and back you
* Locally owned, long-term stability - we're invested in Albany and the Great Southern, not going anywhere
If you like being trusted, treated like an adult, and being part of a growing local business instead of a huge corporate machine, you'll fit in here.

Starting at 5:30am, you'll:
* Load up and deliver goods to cafés, restaurants, takeaways and other hospitality customers

You'll be on the move, not stuck behind a desk, perfect if you like staying active and seeing the region.
