Early Birds Needed: Front Lift Driver (Adelaide Metro)
Are you sick of staring at the same long stretch of highway for hours on end? Do you prefer a job that keeps you moving, thinking, and finished before most of Adelaide has even poured their second cup of coffee?
We are looking for a champion Heavy Rigid (HR) Front Lift Driver to tackle the Adelaide CBD beat. This isn't just a "sit and steer" role—it's a fast-paced, multi-drop puzzle that requires sharp route planning, local metro knowledge, and a bit of daily gym work (minus the membership fees).
We’re kicking things off on a casual basis, but we are looking for a long-term partner—the definitive intent is to transition the right person to permanent.
The Ground Rules (What Your Week Looks Like)
The Clock: Strict 3:00 AM starts. You’ll be wrapping up your week with 45–50 hours, Monday to Friday. Your afternoons are entirely yours.
The Beat: Adelaide Metro CBD. You need to know these streets like the back of your hand.
The Mission: 60 to 70 multi-drop stops per day. You will be optimizing your own routes on the fly and manually positioning bins when tight city spaces demand it.
Who You Are

The Final Check: Passing a pre-employment medical assessment, which includes a comprehensive drug and alcohol screen.
Proof of Track Record: A resume that includes contact details for a previous supervisor or manager who can vouch for your stellar reliability.
