Description

At Firth, we're proud to help build New Zealand. From foundations and driveways to major commercial and infrastructure projects, our products play a vital role in communities across the country. We're currently looking for a reliable and safety-focused Concrete Truck Driver to join our Timaru team.

About the Role

As a Concrete Truck Driver, you'll play an important role in ensuring our customers receive high-quality concrete safely, on time and to specification. Working closely with dispatchers, plant teams and customers, you'll be responsible for delivering product across the Timaru region while providing excellent customer service and representing the Firth brand on site.

This role offers variety and independence, with no two days the same. You'll be responsible for completing deliveries, carrying out vehicle inspections, maintaining your truck to a high standard and communicating effectively with customers and colleagues to keep projects running smoothly. Alongside driving responsibilities, you'll have opportunities to support the wider operation and develop your knowledge of the concrete industry.

What You'll Bring

• A current Class 4 licence with a strong focus on safe driving
• A commitment to health, safety and compliance
• Excellent customer service and communication skills
• Good time management and organisational abilities
• A positive attitude and strong work ethic
• Mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving skills
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Good literacy, numeracy and computer skills
• A willingness to learn and contribute to the wider team
• Previous experience driving heavy vehicles, delivering concrete or working within the construction industry would be advantageous, but it isn't essential.

What's in it for You?

• Full-time, permanent employment with an industry leader
• Competitive pay and employee benefits
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• Career pathways across Firth and the wider Fletcher Building Group
• A supportive team environment where safety comes first
• A stable role with a well-respected New Zealand business
• The opportunity to play a part in building your local community

If you enjoy being on the road, take pride in delivering excellent service and want to be part of a team that helps keep New Zealand building, we'd love to hear from you.

Research shows that females and minority groups don't apply for roles unless they match 100% the job description.

We are proud of your diversity and see it as one of the things that make us stronger. We welcome your individuality and encourage you to bring your true self to work, so if this role is of interest but you feel you don't fit it, we would still love you to apply.
