Trainee HR Truck Drivers

Ready to explore a new career path?

This could be one of those pivotal moments in your life, a chance to open a new door and step into something exciting.

Are you curious about joining the transport industry? We're offering a supportive, high-quality Heavy Vehicle Driver program designed to help you grow. You'll receive hands-on training and mentorship in automatic concrete trucks, and we'll pay you while you earn your Heavy Rigid License. We'll also provide all your uniforms and safety gear so you're set up for success from day one.

Once you've obtained your license, you'll continue with two weeks of on-the-job training alongside one of our experienced Driver Trainers. During this time, you'll deepen your understanding of our business: from concrete delivery and safety practices to environmental standards and technical insights, while gaining valuable driving experience.

You'll have the opportunity to be based at one of our four Adelaide metro concrete plants: Port Adelaide, Lonsdale, Smithfield, or Magill. We are also open to candidates being based out of our Angaston Concrete Plant.

What you'll bring to the team:

We're looking for enthusiastic individuals who are ready to embrace a new challenge with confidence and positivity.

No truck license? No problem! In fact, if you already hold a Heavy Rigid license or above, this opportunity isn't for you.

We'll guide you through every step of the training and licensing process. You don't need prior experience, just the following:

• A valid Australian Driver's License (automatic or manual) held for at least 2 years, with a solid driving record
• Ability to pass a pre-employment commercial driver medical, including a drug test
• Willingness to meet licensing criteria, including declarations about medical history, interlock devices, fines, and disqualifications

To thrive in this role, you'll be reliable, honest, and eager to learn. You'll stay calm and adaptable in changing situations, and you'll approach challenges with a thoughtful and rational mindset.

Your commitment to safety, time management, and following regulations will be key. You'll also build strong relationships, communicate warmly, and deliver excellent customer service when visiting sites.

Why you'll love working with us:

This is your chance to join a leading global employer. You'll benefit from a comprehensive training program, earn your HR License while getting paid, and receive ongoing mentoring and support from the Heidelberg Materials Australia team.

We offer a competitive hourly rate of $29.86 plus super, with future opportunities for allowances and overtime to boost your earnings. You'll drive modern, clean trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, power steering, and advanced safety technology, some of the safest vehicles on the road in Australia.

Here's what to expect:

• Apply online via this ad
• If you meet the criteria, you'll receive a link to complete a video interview, earlier is better!
• Successful applicants will be invited to an assessment day at our Marleston head office
• Selected candidates will be booked for a pre-employment medical
• You'll begin your journey as a Trainee HR Truck Driver in late October. We are also able to accommodate later starts as we realise not everyone is available straight away
