We are currently looking for a fit and experienced Class 2 Owner Driver to join our growing team. This is an Owner Driver role in Auckland.
This role will be a 6-day per week position, circa 60 hours per week servicing the wider Auckland area but working predominantly on the North Shore. Flexibility in start and finish times may be required. In this role you will be emptying, delivering and exchanging trade/gantry bins of various sizes on sites, and you will be visiting a large variety of sites that have collections that range from builders to other trade customers, including residential casual customers. Access will vary and requires skill and patience to ensure collections are made. Experience with truck mounted units or machinery is preferred but not essential.
As an Owner Driver you will be running your own business so will be responsible for paying GST, tax and operating bills. You are required to be GST registered and have your own (or company) Transport Service Licence.
Our ideal candidate would have the following:
- Class two Driver’s Licence – An experienced licenced driver who has stayed current with developments in equipment, tools, business practices and regulations so your knowledge and skills are sharp and up-to-date. You will have an excellent driving record because we believe it shows you have respect for others on the road and you are a professional. You must have had at least three years class two driving experience.
- Mechanical and Maintenance Skills – You will have basic knowledge of how a truck operates so you can carry out minor breakdown repairs as necessary and can do what is needed to help ensure your truck meets compliance and other safety standards. This contributes to a safer working environment not only for you but for everyone else you are sharing the road with.
- Courteous – Part of our Green Gorilla culture is that our drivers have good “people skills” to interact well with other drivers, customers and service staff.
