- Load Management: Estimating weights to ensure safe distribution, securing varied loads using chains/straps, and verifying loading documentation.
- Technical Maintenance: Conducting daily pre-start safety checks and performing minor mechanical repairs/adjustments to the vehicle on-site.
Requirements
- Experience: At least 1 year of documented experience operating HR, preferred HC heavy vehicles.
- Licensing: Current Australian HC Driver’s Licence, current Driver medical, Fatigue Certificate and White Card (Mandatory).
- Mechanical Aptitude: Ability to troubleshoot and perform basic vehicle maintenance independently in a remote location.

- Professionalism: Strong communication skills and a "Safety First" mindset.
- Flexibility: Willingness to work varied hours, including weekends, to align with event and transport schedules.
