HR Truck Driver | Mon–Fri | $35.40/hr | 38–60 hrs

HR Truck Driver – Sunshine Coast & Brisbane

Monday–Friday | $35.40/hr + overtime | Day shifts | Home every night

Good gear, good people, and home every night.

If you're an experienced HR driver who takes pride in your work, you'll know the difference between a job that just keeps you busy and one that treats you properly. We're after drivers who want the second kind.

We look after our trucks, and we look after our drivers. In return, we're looking for people who'll do the same.

What We Offer

- $35.40 per hour
- Overtime rates paid on hours over 38
- Typically 38–60 hours per week
- Monday to Friday only – your weekends are yours
- Day shifts only, with start times between 5:00 and 7:00am
- Brisbane and Sunshine Coast runs – home every night
- Modern, clean, well-maintained trucks – no rough gear here
- A practical operations team that picks up the phone and helps sort things out
- Immediate start for the right person
- A down-to-earth crew who value what experienced drivers bring

You'll initially start as a casual employee.

Good drivers are generally offered permanent employment after approximately four weeks. When you move to permanent, we keep you on the same $35.40 hourly rate – 25% above the Award ordinary rate – plus permanent employee entitlements.

What the Job Actually Involves

This is a pickup and delivery role across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, running out of our Kunda Park depot. You'll be on the road for most of the day, but it's not just driving. You'll be loading and unloading, organising your run, using the depot forklift, and dealing with customers at both ends.

Your day will include:

- Pickups and deliveries across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast
- Loading, unloading and restraining freight properly




- Forklift work at the depot and on customer sites
- Accurate paperwork and scanning
- Keeping in touch with the operations team when plans change
- Pre-start checks and taking care of your truck and equipment
- Representing ECFD professionally with every customer you deal with

Who We're Looking For

You've been driving long enough to know how to do the job properly, and you still care about doing it well. You'll need:

- A current HR licence and at least 2 years' HR driving experience
- A current forklift licence
- A clean driving history and a strong safety record
- Good knowledge of Brisbane and Sunshine Coast roads
- A solid understanding of load restraint, fatigue management and compliance
- The ability to work independently and solve problems on the road
- To be friendly, fit and reliable – someone who backs their workmates

Why Drivers Stay With Us

We're not a big faceless operator. Our customers know us, our managers know our drivers by name, and when something goes wrong on the road you'll be talking to people who understand the job.

We expect our drivers to be safe, reliable and skilled. In return, you get good equipment, steady work, fair pay and respect for the skills you bring.
