Old Red Brick Company | Gillman, Adelaide SA
Full-Time | Metropolitan Adelaide | Competitive Hourly Rate

Old Red Brick Company is seeking an experienced Float Truck Driver to transport excavators and other heavy machinery between demolition sites throughout metropolitan Adelaide.

When not floating machinery, the successful applicant will operate tandem or tri-axle trailers to transport concrete, masonry and general demolition waste.

- Coordinate machinery movements and waste removal with site supervisors and excavator operators.

- Conduct daily vehicle inspections and ensure trucks and trailers are maintained in protected working condition.

- Comply with heavy vehicle regulations, load restraint requirements and company safety procedures.

Expectations

- Demonstrate a high level of competence and confidence operating heavy combinations in difficult environments.

- Work independently with minimal supervision and use sound judgement when assessing access and manoeuvring requirements.

- Be reliable, punctual and willing to work as part of a team.

- Maintain a professional attitude when dealing with customers, site supervisors and other contractors.

- Good knowledge of metropolitan Adelaide.

- Current unrestricted driver's licence and reliable transport.

Highly Regarded

- Experience operating tandem and tri-axle tipping trailers.

- Previous employment in demolition, civil construction or earthmoving.

- Experience transporting oversize or overmass machinery.

- Excavator and skid steer operating experience.

- Construction White Card.

What We Offer

How to Apply

We are looking for an experienced operator who can confidently and safely transport heavy machinery, particularly excavators, without requiring extensive training or supervision.

Applicants must have genuine machinery floating experience. General truck driving experience alone will not be sufficient.

Apply through SEEK with your resume outlining your relevant experience.
