Waste Truck Driver - Dandenong And Melbourne Cbd

Join the Wolfe Pack on our mission to keep Dandenong and surrounding Melbourne CBD areas clean and green! We're currently seeking dedicated Waste Truck Drivers to join our team. Here's what you can look forward to:
 
The role of a Truck Driver responsible for waste management involves several key responsibilities:

1. Pushing and Pulling Bins: This includes maneuvering waste bins on both flat and uneven surfaces to ensure they are properly positioned for collection.
2. Lifting and Carrying Large Hoses: Handling and transporting heavy hoses used in waste collection operations safely and efficiently.
3. Tarping Skips: Ensuring that skips (large containers used for waste collection) are securely covered with tarps to prevent spillage during transportation.
4. Operating Vehicle Systems: Proficiency in operating the various systems of the waste collection vehicle, including but not limited to, hydraulic lifts, compactors, and safety mechanisms.
5. Waste Collection: Executing the collection of different waste streams according to schedule and route plans, adhering to safety and environmental regulations.
6. Adhering to Job Function Analysis (JFA): Following specific role responsibilities outlined in the Job Function Analysis document for the position.

In addition to driving the truck, responsibilities may involve lifting and emptying larger waste bins found in park areas, which can weigh up to 20kg. This may require physical strength and endurance to handle the bins safely and efficiently. As a Kerbside Collector, you'll be responsible for emptying waste bins from residential areas. Some bins may contain heavier loads, particularly those with dense materials like soil or construction debris. Lifting and emptying these bins safely may require lifting weights of up to 20kg.
