We are a close team of a batcher and a mini driver at Garbutt, and a team based at our Stuart site as well. You'll be the face of Boral, so great customer service matters.

• Working Monday to Friday from approximately 5:00am to 2:00pm, plus Saturday mornings
• Exact Hours are variable and reasonable overtime is expected based on Workload and Customer Bookings

What are we looking for?

• Driving experience. Concrete industry experience would be advantageous but is not essential
• HR licence is desirable. We'll also accept an MR licence, as you'll be driving a mini agitator
• A strong commitment to safety, customer service, and teamwork
• Good literacy, analytical and computer skills
• Flexibility, including being comfortable with early starts
• Mechanical aptitude is desirable
• A loader ticket is a bonus, but we can train you
