Class 5 Drivers

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Get involved in labouring tasks when not driving – a real mix of work!
  • Able to operate a tipper truck and know how to spread.
  • Work closely with a great team to keep projects moving.
  • Be willing to be able to work away from time to time and the occasional nightshift. 

What You Need:

  • A valid Class 5 licence.
  • WTR preferred but not essential.
  • Ideally a background working in the civil industry.
  • A strong work ethic and reliability.
  • A team-focused attitude and willingness to learn.
