HR Driver / Vacuum Truck Operator – Full Training Provided
n
Full time Permanent Position | HR Preferred | MR Upgrade Pathway | Training Provided
n
We are looking for the right person to join our team as an HR Vacuum Truck Driver / Operator servicing commercial customers throughout Sydney and surrounding areas.
n
Previous vacuum truck or liquid waste experience is not required.
n
A current HR licence is preferred; however, we are also open to considering an experienced and suitable MR-licensed driver who is willing to obtain their HR licence.
n
For the right candidate, we are prepared to support and fund the HR licence upgrade, subject to an agreed commitment to remain with the company for a period following completion of the training.
n
For us, finding someone who is reliable, safety-conscious, takes pride in their work and wants a long-term position is more important than finding someone who already has industry experience.
n
This is not simply a truck-driving position. It is a hands-on operational role combining heavy vehicle driving, equipment operation, physical work, customer service and independent problem-solving on site.
n
What You'll Be Doing
n
Your work will include:
n
Driving and operating an HR vacuum tanker to service commercial customers.
n
Safely operating vacuum pumps, hoses, valves and associated equipment, with full training provided where required.
n
Pumping and transporting grease trap, septic and other liquid waste.
n
Opening and closing grease trap and service pit lids using appropriate tools and safe work methods.
n
Setting up, handling and packing away vacuum hoses and equipment.
n
Attending scheduled jobs and managing your day effectively.
n
Communicating professionally with customers, site representatives, plumbers and other contractors.
n
Completing electronic service records, photographs and job notes using a smartphone or tablet.
n
Carrying out daily vehicle inspections and reporting defects or maintenance requirements.
n
Keeping your allocated truck, equipment and work areas clean and well presented.
n
Following Heavy Vehicle National Law, fatigue management requirements and company safety procedures.
n
What We're Looking For
n
Current HR Driver Licence or higher,



or a current MR licence with suitable heavy vehicle experience and willingness to upgrade to HR.
n
For suitable MR applicants, HR licence training may be company-funded, subject to an agreed ongoing employment commitment.
n
Safe and responsible driving history.
n
Reliable and punctual, with a strong work ethic.
n
Physically capable of performing hands-on work throughout the day.
n
Strong commitment to workplace and heavy vehicle safety.
n
Able to work independently once trained.
n
Willing and capable of learning new equipment, procedures and systems.
n
Comfortable using a smartphone or tablet for electronic job records.
n
Professional when dealing with customers and other people on site.
n
Able to take responsibility for your vehicle, equipment and assigned work.
n
Experience That Would Be Highly Regarded
n
Experience in any of the following would be an advantage, but is not essential:
n
Liquid waste, wastewater or environmental services.
n
Grease traps, septic systems or sewer infrastructure.
n
Industrial or oily-water waste.
n
Heavy vehicle work involving pumps, hoses, hydraulics or similar equipment.
n
HC licence.
n
White Card.
n
Candidates coming from other industries are encouraged to apply if they have the right attitude and aptitude for the work.
n
A reliable employment history demonstrating reliability and long-term commitment will be highly regarded.
n
You'll Probably Enjoy This Role If You...
n
n
Like practical, hands-on work rather than spending the entire day behind the wheel.
n
Take pride in looking after your truck, tools and equipment.
n
Are comfortable working independently and taking responsibility for getting your jobs completed properly.
n
Can think through problems when conditions on site aren't exactly as expected.
n
Treat customers and other workers professionally.
n
Prefer doing a job properly rather than taking shortcuts.
n
Are looking for stable,



long-term employment and an opportunity to learn additional skills.
n
n
This Role Probably Won't Suit You If You...
n
✘ Are looking for a driving-only job.
n
✘ Don't want to perform physical work or handle hoses and equipment.
n
✘ Regularly need supervision to stay organised or complete assigned work.
n
✘ Have difficulty arriving at scheduled jobs on time.
n
✘ Don't want responsibility for keeping a truck and its equipment clean and well maintained.
n
✘ Are unwilling to follow safety procedures, fatigue requirements or company processes.
n
What We Offer
n
Competitive hourly rate based on skills and experience.
n
Overtime opportunities.
n
Full training in vacuum truck operation and our liquid waste services for the right candidate.
n
Modern, well-maintained vehicles and equipment.
n
Uniforms and PPE provided.
n
Ongoing training and development.
n
Stable employment with an established and growing business.
n
A supportive team environment where reliability and good work are recognised.
n
The prospect to develop specialist skills in an industry that provides essential services.
n
Interested?
n
If you already have an HR or HC licence, we'd be pleased to hear from you — whether or not you have previous vacuum truck or liquid waste experience.
n
You don't need industry experience to apply.
n
We also welcome applications from experienced MR drivers who are looking to progress to an HR licence and develop a long-term career with us. For the right person, we are prepared to invest in both your HR licence upgrade and the training required to become a competent vacuum truck operator.
n
We're not looking to fill the position simply as quickly as possible. We're looking for the right person to join the company for the long term.
n
Please submit your resume outlining your driving and employment history, along with a brief explanation of why you believe this type of role would suit you.
n
