HR/HC Drivers - Road Crew | Forbes NSW

Forbes, NSW | Casual/Ongoing Opportunities | Immediate Opportunities

We are looking for:

  • 1 x HC Driver
  • 1 x HR/MR Driver

These are hands-on roles combining driving with general road crew and labouring duties. You will be working alongside the crew and assisting with road maintenance and surfacing activities, so we're looking for candidates who are happy to get out of the truck and get involved.

About the role

Your duties may include:

  • Operating HR/HC vehicles and transporting materials/equipment
  • Assisting with road maintenance and surfacing works
  • General labouring and manual handling
  • Supporting asphalt and road crews on site
  • Following site and traffic management procedures
  • Completing vehicle and equipment pre-start checks
  • Maintaining a strong focus on safety at all times

Working Away

During the busy season, approximately 50% of the work may be away from Forbes, so applicants must be willing and available to travel for work.

When working away:

  • All accommodation is paid for by Downer
  • Breakfast, lunch, dinner and incidental allowances are paid for each away shift in the following pay week

What we're looking for

  • Current MR, HR or HC Driver Licence, depending on the position
  • Previous heavy vehicle driving experience
  • Willingness to undertake labouring and physical duties
  • Flexibility to work away from home when required
  • Reliable, well-presented and able to work as part of a team
  • Strong commitment to workplace health and safety
  • Ability to pass daily breath testing prior to shift
  • Willingness to undergo random drug and alcohol testing

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a varied role where no two days are quite the same, working across road projects throughout Forbes and surrounding regions.

Apply now if interested! Please note, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
