Job description

Drive and Deliver Driving a truck and dog tipper for Heidelberg Materials Australia is great role if you enjoy having a little bit of variety in your day, but you also enjoy a bit of routine.

You don’t have to be a customer service super star, but it would help if you can hold a conversation with our customers when you need to.

Most days will start at our quarry, and you will be delivering aggregates to our concrete plants or our clients. Some days will be the same as the last one, but others will have a bit of variety in where you drop off. We provide cutting edge technology to not only keep you safe whilst driving, but also to help you map your routes and keep track of your day.
