Job description

Drive when required. Get hands-on when you're not.

Height 4 Hire is seeking a reliable, safety-focused and flexible Full-Time Relief Driver to join our team.

This is a varied, hands-on position combining heavy vehicle driving with general yard and workshop duties. Unlike a traditional driving role, you won't be behind the wheel every day. When relief driving is not required, you'll assist with day-to-day branch operations, equipment movements, yard duties, housekeeping and supporting our workshop team.

Based at Northgate and/or Richlands, you'll provide driving and operational support across our Richlands, Northgate and other Southeast Queensland locations as required.

If you enjoy driving but also like working with machinery, getting your hands dirty and being part of a team, this could be the role for you.

About Height 4 Hire

Height 4 Hire is Queensland's largest privately owned and operated access equipment hire company, with branches throughout Queensland, including Richlands, Northgate, Kuluin, Townsville and Cairns.

We specialise in the dry hire of boom lifts, scissor lifts, forklifts, telehandlers and other access equipment, supported by our own fleet of company-operated tilt tray trucks.

With more than 75 employees across Queensland, we pride ourselves on providing reliable service, quality equipment and a safe working environment.

About the Role

Reporting to the SEQ Transport Manager or SEQ Service Manager when not conducting driving operations, you'll provide flexible operational support across our transport, yard and workshop operations.

Your responsibilities will vary depending on operational requirements.

Relief Driving Duties

When required, you will:

• Operate company tilt tray trucks to deliver and collect access equipment.
• Safely load, secure, transport and unload equipment.
• Complete vehicle pre-start inspections and required safety checks.
• Complete mandatory Take 5 risk assessments.
• Follow load restraint requirements, company procedures and relevant legislation.
• Comply with customer site requirements and company WHS procedures.
• Provide professional customer service to customers and site personnel.
• Complete electronic transport documentation accurately.
• Maintain company vehicles in a clean, presentable and roadworthy condition.

Yard and Workshop Duties

When driving is not required, you will:

• Assist with general yard and branch operations.
• Move, position and organise access equipment around the yard.
• Assist with equipment cleaning, preparation and beautification.
• Support workshop personnel with general duties as required.
• Assist with equipment loading and unloading.
• Maintain a clean, organised and safe working environment.
• Assist with general yard housekeeping and upkeep.
• Support other Height 4 Hire locations when operationally required.

Important:

This is a combined driving and operational support position. The successful applicant must be comfortable undertaking both driving and non-driving duties as directed.

About You

We're looking for someone who is dependable, practical, flexible and takes pride in doing a job properly.

To be successful, you will have:

• A current HR licence or higher.
• Previous heavy vehicle driving experience.
• A safe driving history and willingness to provide a current Traffic History Report.
• A strong commitment to workplace health and safety.
• Good communication and customer service skills.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• A flexible attitude and willingness to assist wherever required.
• Good physical fitness and the ability to undertake manual handling tasks.
• A practical approach to problem-solving and general housekeeping.

Highly regarded, but not essential:

• Experience with access equipment, forklifts or other heavy machinery.
• Mechanical aptitude or previous workshop/yard experience.
• Knowledge of Brisbane and Southeast Queensland roads.
• Training will be provided to the successful applicant where required.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of $90,000 – $100,000 per annum, based on experience and suitability.
• Monday to Friday working arrangements.
• Overtime opportunities when operationally required.
• A varied role combining driving, yard and workshop duties.
• Modern, well-maintained company vehicles and equipment.
• Ongoing training and development.
• A supportive and professional team environment.
• The opportunity to work across multiple Height 4 Hire locations.
• Employment with an established and growing Queensland-owned business.

Why Join Height 4 Hire?

You’ll enjoy a combination of driving, working with machinery and supporting different areas of the business. You’ll work alongside different teams, experience different locations and play an important role in keeping our operations running smoothly.
