Class 5 Truck Driver | Night Shift & Regional Projects | Hamilton

Looking for more than just a driving job?
We're seeking an experienced Class 5 Truck Driver to join a busy civil and infrastructure crew delivering essential projects across the North Island. If you're confident behind the wheel, comfortable with night shift work, and enjoy being part of a high-performing team, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

What You'll Be Doing

• Transporting heavy plant, equipment, and materials to project sites
• Operating Road Ranger gearbox vehicles
• Towing transport trailers and securing plant safely

This is not a standard Monday to Friday driving position. The majority of work is completed at night, and regular travel is required to support projects across the North Island. If you enjoy variety, working with a great crew, and being involved in large-scale infrastructure projects, you'll thrive in this environment.

What's In It For You?
