Heavy Vehicle Driver Trainer (Wodonga)
Be the driver behind better driving.
If you're a skilled heavy vehicle driver who enjoys helping others lift their game, this is your chance to turn that passion into a career. Join Ron Finemore Transport (RFT) as a Driver Trainer based at our Wodonga head office – the central hub of our operations and a great place to build your career.
This isn't a desk job. You'll be out in the yard and on the road, working hands-on with drivers to build their capability, confidence, and commitment to safety. You'll play a key role in strengthening our driver team and keeping RFT at the forefront of the industry.
What's in it for you?
· Flexibility and variety – yard, road, and occasional travel across sites
· Discounts at retailers like JB HiFi, Harvey Norman, Supercheap, BCF
· Salary sacrifice options (e.g. cars, phones, laptops)
· Wellbeing programs to keep you fit and healthy
· Career growth with one of the most respected transport companies in Australia
What we're looking for:
· MC licence with at least 5 years' heavy vehicle driving experience (more highly regarded)
· Strong knowledge of WHS and COR requirements
· Experience with supermarket DC deliveries, including rear and finger docks
· Hands-on coaching skills – you're someone drivers naturally learn from
· Confident communicator who can give feedback clearly and record training using mobile/tablet systems
· Calm, approachable, and down-to-earth – drivers respect you because you've "been there, done that"
· Certificate IV in Training & Assessment is desirable but not required upfront – RFT will support you to complete it within your first six months.
About the Role
As a Driver Trainer at RFT Wodonga, you'll:
· Train, review, and coach drivers in the yard and on the road
· Conduct driver recruitment assessments and interviews
· Support inductions and on-road observations
· Carry out drug and alcohol testing, coupling checks, and site inspections
· Complete driver reviews at 1 and 3 months
· Travel occasionally to support other depots (Melbourne, Wagga, Sydney)
· Report on training and driver activities using mobile technology (minimal office time)
This is a full-time, permanent role based at RFT's head office in Wodonga, reporting into the General Divisions Operations team.
