Long Distance Driver

• Challenge yourself to see the possibilities
• Together we’ll come together as one team to build a high-performance culture
• Permanent, Full-time opportunity based at Mascot
• 7-day rotating roster

When international air cargo touches down in Australia, we’re there to get it the rest of the way to its destination. Our interstate trucking services cover the domestic legs of international airfreight operations, driving between all the major cities from our hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Coolangatta, Perth and Adelaide.

In 2008, Qantas Freight Enterprises bought Jets Transport. Today we operate as a wholly owned but independently managed business. With unbeatable reliability, security and attention to detail, it’s no surprise we’re Australia’s road feeder of choice. We understand our priorities and what needs to be delivered, taking the initiative to keep things moving. We bring teams and individuals together to deliver on our customers’ expectations.

As a Full-time Long Distance Driver, based at Mascot, you will drive heavy (Road Ranger gearbox) vehicles over Long Distances, predominantly performing change over work with our Melbourne Driver in Tarcutta.

This role works across a 7-day rotating roster, usually departing no later than 7:00pm, completing the changeover and returning back to Sydney. Occasionally, you would be required to drive straight to Melbourne or Adelaide.

If you are an experienced MC Long Distance driver looking for a position with less traveling and more work life balance, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

To be successful in this position you’ll have:

• A MC drivers licence
• Experience operating 18 speed Road Ranger gearboxes
• Flexibility to work a 7 day rotating roster and the ability to work night shifts
• A clean driving record
• High attention to detail and focus on safety.
• Eligibility to hold an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC)
