We have built a solid foundation, and our superior performance has helped us become one of Australia's largest privately owned resource recovery and recycling companies. We are proud to be recognised as an industry leader, earning a reputation for our unrivalled drive to achieve excellence in the services we offer.

Currently, we employ over 350 dedicated team members and operate a collection fleet of over 350 vehicles, in addition to operating multiple processing facilities and assisting numerous partners in implementing sustainable environmental solutions.

The opportunity

We now have an exciting opportunity for multiple HR drivers to join our team across our Auburn & Banksmeadow depots on a full-time basis. In this role, you will play a key part in the collection of waste and recycling materials across our Auburn and Banksmeadow contracts.

You'll work with a team of dedicated professionals to ensure that our waste removal services are carried out efficiently while ensuring the highest level of safety.

Responsibilities include:
