Job Description

You’ll be responsible for helping to unload and load drop units on and off Bluebridge’s ferries, which means you can swap long hours on the road away from friends and family with a job close to home that still utilises all your driving skills and experience.
The position currently available is a permanent night shift position starting at 4pm Monday to Friday. From time to time, you may be asked to do additional work outside of these rostered shifts.
Helping you understand the port environment is all part of the on-the-job training offered and we’ll also provide support getting your Dangerous Goods (DG) and F endorsements, if required.
We’re looking for someone who:
Has an excellent work ethic and attendance record
Is punctual, reliable, honest and positive
Works in a safe and efficient manner and will comply with company policies and procedures
Strong customer service
Work harmoniously in a team environment
Excellent communication skills- both verbal and written
Has had experience backing truck and trailers
In return, we can offer you:
A competitive hourly rate
A chance to get out of the cab and stay active
Regular generous breaks
No traffic congestion to worry about
Full uniform/PPE provided
Minimal paperwork
Southern Cross Health Insurance
Kiwisaver
Discounted ferry travel for you, family and friends.
Of course, there are a few technical requirements which are important to have:
A class 5 license and a clean and safe driving record.
Experience driving B trains, Semis and Truck and Trailers
You must satisfy a pre-employment medical, drug test and a Ministry of Justice check to be considered for this position.
Excellent reversing skills
OSH Forklift certification or F endorsement and current W T R endorsements would be useful but are not critical.
If it’s time to join our team in Picton and you're keen to hear more about the position please call Lawrence Bramley on 027 289 4837.
