In this role, you will be a key player in ensuring the safe and timely transportation of goods across interstate routes. You will work closely with our transport team to maintain high standards of service for our clients.
Applicants from outside the Illawarra region will be considered depending on location. We can be flexible with drivers based anywhere between Melbourne to Brisbane.

* Adhere to assigned routes and schedules to ensure timely delivery and pickup of goods.
* Assist with loading and unloading freight, ensuring compliance with load restraint regulations.

* Conduct daily pre-trip inspections, addressing any mechanical or safety concerns before departure.
* Follow all road safety rules, especially those related to heavy vehicle operation.
* Collaborate effectively with the transport manager and team members to support our road freight logistics operations.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
You must have a valid MC license and a clean driving record. HC is also considered. Road train experience is preferred but not essential. Experience with various freight types and load restraint systems is necessary. Strong time management skills and knowledge of traffic laws and regulations are also required.
In addition, you should have experience with on-board reporting technology (tablet) and be proactive in maintaining vehicle safety and compliance with company policies and legal requirements. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with a diverse team are also important.
Benefits:
This role offers a great opportunity to be part of a growing and professional team. If you're ready to contribute your skills and experience, please submit your application to take the next step in your career.
