Overview
We are seeking two reliable and dedicated team members to join our delivery team. This is a two-person role (Driver + Driver's Mate/Helper), as the goods we deliver are heavy aluminium glazing products. The driver will be responsible for safe vehicle operation, while both team members will assist with loading, unloading, and ensuring deliveries are made efficiently and safely.
This opportunity is ideal for two friends or individuals who enjoy working as a team. The driver will receive a higher rate of pay due to driving responsibilities, but both roles are essential to the successful delivery of our products.
