TSS is the market leading Sensitive Freight transport and Logistics provider both here in NZ and all across Australia. We handle freight for a broad range of customers that other freight companies don’t want to touch – items that are very expensive, delicate, fragile, sensitive by nature, require specialist handling, need unpacking at site and positioning or even delivering to a particular point or room within a building at a certain time.Project work that takes a team of 8 staff a whole day to complete - the variety is endless.
Our clients are the centre of our world - we exist because of them and we thrive by delivering our market leading services – clear, timely & honest communication, accurate planning, doing what we say we’ll do and being on time – as transport specialists we’re able to do this, and this is some of what sets us apart from the rest.
About the Role:
We've just opened a new depot in Dunedin - We're looking for a self starter to help us build this business
You'll have a minimum class 2 license (Class 4 even better) and you'll have that extra "something" we're searching for. Almost all our deliveries involve handling the product in one way or another beyond what a normal delivery driver would do.This could be unpacking the freight on arrival, wheeling something through a busy workplace, working with a team of colleagues to position and partially install a piece of equipment or removing an old system from a site in preparation for the replacement.
If you're only interested in parking up and pulling back the curtain while somebody else unloads your freight, this role isn't for you.
We work all over NZ too, so while this role is Dunedin based part of the role will involve driving to customer sites across the South Island and this may include overnight stays away from home when necessary including some weekend work (but not regular).
We don’t take short cuts and we do everything by the book – this is an important character trait of all our staff and it’s important anyone who applies for this role shares this attitude.

Class 2 or Class 4 NZ licenseMin 2 years truck driving experience
Common Sense
Positive attitude and team player
Willingness to learn the TSS way of doing things
Knowledge of sensitive freight considered a distinct advantage
Previous experience with inside deliveries would also be helpful
Forklift License / willingness to train
Sound geographical knowledge of NZ
Ability to use hand and power tools confidently and safely
You are also expected to pass the random TDDA drug tests we conduct - this is a key requirement of the role
Contract will be offered to the successful candidate subject to them passing a pre employment drug test that we pay for.
We have a modern fleet of vehicles including brand new class 2 and 4 trucks
We pay overtime for weekend work
In order to apply for the role, you must have the legal right to work in NZ
