Heavy Vehicle Driver
Ready to roll up your sleeves, drive well, and keep things moving for your community?
WasteCo is looking for a reliable, safety‑minded Class 4/5 Driver to join our Invercargill Solid Waste team. If you enjoy variety, like working with machinery and trucks, and take pride in doing the job right, this is a great opportunity.
About Us
WasteCo NZ Ltd delivers essential waste management services across the South Island, including transfer station operations, waste collection, specialised waste handling, and industrial services that support cleaner, safer communities. We’re proud of our safety‑first culture and the visible impact our work has every day.
About the Role
Join us on a 6-days-on, 2-days-off roster, combining hands-on site work with driving across the district. Four days a week, you’ll operate the loader and compactor at the Invercargill Transfer Station. The other two days, you’ll be on the road in the Class 5 Hook Truck, servicing transfer stations in the district.
You’ll complete pre-start checks, follow routes, maintain paperwork, and prioritise safety at all times. Day-to-day duties include: operating trucks and machinery, safe loading/unloading, customer liaison, occasional kiosk duties, and keeping your vehicle in top condition.
What We’re Looking For
You’ll thrive in this role if you’re practical, customer‑focused, and comfortable switching between driving and onsite machinery work.
- Class 4 and Class 5 licences (essential).
- W, T & R endorsements (preferred)
- Clear communication and solid customer service skills; positive, friendly approach
- Good time‑management and problem‑solving; flexible and adaptable across tasks.
- Commitment to safety, accurate documentation, and doing the job properly, every time.
