About the role

This job is not a driving-only position.

You will be working on different sites across the region, helping with line marking and surface treatment projects. The work involves driving, loading, unloading, preparing equipment and carrying out physical duties on site.

Some work will take place during the day. Some projects will involve night shifts, weekend work and staying away from home when required.

• Previous Class 2 driving experience
• Good physical fitness
• A flexible approach to working hours and locations
• Confidence working outdoors in different weather conditions
• A reliable and safety-focused attitude
• The ability to pass random drug and alcohol testing

Previous experience in highways, construction, line marking, road maintenance or surface treatment would be useful.

The most important things are reliability, flexibility and being comfortable with hands-on site work as well as driving.
