To support our talent team, we focus on development opportunities, robust employee resource groups (ERGs), a flexible working environment, location specific competitive total rewards, wellness incentives and a culture of recognition and performance awards. We are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels included, respected, empowered and recognised.

What You Can Expect

At Zimmer Biomet, we specialize in Knee, Hip, Shoulder, and Trauma instrumentation and implants needed for surgeries at our local hospitals and surgery centers.

The Mobile Logistics Medical Device Driver is responsible for deliveries and pick-ups, transporting medical device products from a local sales warehouse to assigned hospitals. Routes are subject to change daily. A full-size, company-owned van is provided to conduct pickups and deliveries. Driver must maintain cleanliness and proper maintenance on vans while driving.

Drop off and pick up protocol varies by facility; directions and training will be provided.
• Retrieve items from accounts post-use, checking for instrument completeness before exiting the facility and communicating with hospital staff to locate missing items. Pictures are provided of instrumentation to check against; might require locating product in multiple areas at a facility.
• Move instrument trays and implants across facilities on a daily basis. Double check instrument/implant count and the labeling on product to ensure the correct product is being taken to the correct location (office to hospital, hospital to hospital, or hospital to office.)
• Communicate ETA to Warehouse Dispatcher to/from each stop on assigned route. Work at a face pace to complete all assigned stops within assigned shift while being accurate, double-checking counts at each stop.
• Practice safe and lawful driving while operating full-size van for pickups and deliveries. Maintain cleanliness (exterior and interior) and maintenance alerts of company-owned vehicle.
