Seasonal Milk Tanker Driver
GCA Logistics is a family-owned transport and contracting company based in Gisborne with operations in Hawkes Bay and the Waikato. We are an established company who operate across the forest, rural and civil sectors.
We pride ourselves on being productive and efficient, having a great team culture and taking enjoyment in what we do. We like common sense thinkers who can get on with the job with a no-nonsense approach.
We are currently on the lookout for experienced class 5 drivers for the upcoming Milk season running out of the Waikato. Ideally applicants will be based in Hamilton or surrounding areas.
The season begins Late August/Early September and runs through to December. These roles are fixed for the season but once milk is complete we carry on into other harvest work so if you perform well, we can look at further employment options if you desire.
The roles available are driving two near new Opti cruise Scania (R770 and R620) milk tankers to and from various factories across the North Island. This is a 24/7 operation but we set rosters for the season at the beginning.
The open roles are as follows- A night shift driver, working 5 nights per week
- Relief driver working 4 day shifts per week (2 days 620, 2 days 770)
- Relief driver working 4 night shifts per week (2 days 620, 2 days 770)
This is a home every night operation but requires big hours and big kms. A class 5 licence is essential. We offer full training with the tanker and factory processes so a lack of previous experience in this is not a barrier.
We have a good team, so seek someone who can fit in and work well with others to kick the goals.
To apply we require:- A clean class 5 licence.
- Positive attitude and reliability.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Taking pride in your work and looking after your truck.
- Maintaining a high Health and Safety standard.
Advantageous qualities: Previous experience within a similar or adaptable role.
Good geographical knowledge of the upper and central North Island.
The successful candidate will be rewarded with:- Good rates per hour depending on experience.
- Consistent work for the duration of the season.
- Weekly pay
- A great workplace culture and environment.
We welcome contract drivers to get in touch.
