MC Tanker Drivers Wanted: Smithfield | Liquid & Container Work | Permanent Role

Early starts | Home every night | $40.01/hr + penalties

We’re recruiting 4–5 experienced MC tanker drivers for permanent roles with a reputable Smithfield transport company that keeps its drivers long term. You’ll mainly cart liquids, along with some container work, in modern Scania and Volvo trucks, with full paid training to get you started.

The work:

- Mainly liquid haulage: ISO tanks, IBCs, drums and bulker bags

- Mostly base oils and additives, with some DG. No fuel.

- Some container work, including 20 ft and 40 ft containers off the wharf

- Deliveries to customer sites, with an induction at each one

- Start between 3am and 7am. You’ll get your start time the afternoon before.

- 10–12 hour shifts, home every night

- Weekend work available, mostly container runs to the ports

- Permanent with the client from day one

This is a hands-on job:

Each drop involves jumping out of the truck, opening container doors, handling heavy hoses and climbing onto the tank to check it’s empty. You need to be fit, active and comfortable working at heights.

What you need:

- MC licence with at least 2 years’ experience (B-double preferred)





- Tanker or ISO tank experience. This is a must. Any liquid work counts: milk, water, chemicals, oils and so on.

- Good fitness for regular physical work throughout the shift

- Comfortable working at heights, including climbing onto tanks

- Full Australian working rights

- Able to pass a medical and drug and alcohol testing

Highly regarded, but not a deal breaker:

- MSIC card

- DG licence

- Container experience

What you get:

- $40.01/hr base, with overtime and weekend penalties, so your pay climbs with the hours you work

- Up-to-date Scania and Volvo trucks

- 2–3 weeks of paid training, including Working at Heights, hazardous goods and bulk liquid handling, with all courses paid for

- 1 RDO a month and 4 weeks annual leave

- A secure permanent job with a company that looks after its drivers

- 2,000+ drivers placed across Australia

- Direct communication with no run-around, so you’ll know exactly where you stand

- We know the work, not just the paperwork
