The Role

At Vinnies Queensland, our Delivery Drivers play an important role in supporting our retail stores and local communities. This is a hands-on position that combines local truck driving with warehouse and distribution centre operations.

• Assist with general warehouse duties and housekeeping
• Dispose of unsuitable donations and waste in accordance with procedures
• Follow all workplace health and safety requirements

To be successful, you'll bring:

• Current MR Driver Licence (Mandatory)
• Current Forklift Licence (Mandatory)
• Previous truck driving, delivery driving or logistics experience
• Experience in warehousing, distribution, furniture removals or stock handling (desirable)
