You’ll be driving modern equipment completing a mix of civil and cartage work across Christchurch and wider Canterbury. The role includes a combination of around-town and open-road running with the trailer, plus the occasional trip further afield when the job requires it.

What you’ll be doing
- Operating heavy vehicle and trailer combinations safely and professionally across civil and cartage jobs
- Moving a range of goods between yards, sites and customers
- Completing thorough pre-start and end-of-day checks to keep the truck safe, compliant and ready for the next run
- Meeting schedules without compromising safety, load security or quality standards
- Keeping logbooks, vehicle checks and basic paperwork accurate and up to date
- Communicating with dispatch, site supervisors and clients to keep loads and jobs running smoothly
- Taking pride in keeping your truck, gear and work area tidy and well looked after
What we’re looking for
- A full New Zealand Class 5 licence
- A clean or good driving record and a genuine commitment to safe driving
- Experience in civil, bulk haulage, construction cartage or similar heavy transport work is a real advantage
- Someone reliable who turns up on time, ready to work, and can be trusted to get on with the job
- Confidence working independently in the cab and as part of a small, close-knit crew on site
- A straight-up communicator with a practical, down-to-earth attitude
Why drive with Protranz
- A solid hourly rate, so safe, steady and reliable work is recognised in your pay
- Fuel allowance included, helping you keep more of what you earn
- Consistent, ongoing work with a growing civil and transport company
- Variety in your day, including different gear, sites, loads and responsibilities
- Opportunities to develop your skills and move into other equipment or roles as the business grows
- A capable crew that backs each other and takes pride in doing the job properly
- Modern, well-maintained equipment
