VTG Waste & Recycling is looking for motivated and reliable people to join our team as Trainee Truck Operators.
These roles are designed as a structured pathway into heavy vehicle operations. You don't need previous truck-driving experience — we're looking for people with the right attitude, robust safety awareness and a willingness to learn.
Successful trainees will initially work in our light vehicle operations, gaining practical experience in waste collection, customer service, vehicle operation and safe work practices before progressing into the heavy vehicle fleet.
Light Vehicle Operations Pathway | 6 Months
Trainees will commence operating light vehicles across our waste collection services, which may include:
Ute and trailer combinations
Pantech trucks
Collection and delivery services
Manual handling and waste collection activities
Customer and site-based services
During this period, you will develop a solid understanding of VTG's operating procedures, safety requirements, customer expectations and waste operations.
Progression is based on successfully completing a minimum development period and demonstrating the required standards of safety, reliability, attendance, performance and attitude.
What we're looking for
You don't need to be an experienced truck driver. We're looking for candidates who:
Hold a current Australian driver's licence
Are reliable and punctual
Have a robust commitment to workplace and road safety
Are comfortable undertaking physical and outdoor work
A willingness to learn and take direction
Can work independently and as part of a team
Communicate professionally with customers and the public
Are interested in developing a long-term career in transport and waste operations
What VTG offers
Structured pathway into heavy vehicle operations
Exposure to a diverse fleet and range of waste operations
Build your career with VTG
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to get into the waste management industry but hasn't yet had the opportunity to gain heavy vehicle experience.
