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 contemporary 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.
Valuable 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
