Our client is proud of their “yes mentality” and being “No.1 in storage & transport”. The team goes the extra mile, thrives on a “can-do” attitude, and support each other to get the job done right.  They value professionalism, initiative, and a commitment to safety – with real opportunities to make an impact.

Are you a highly experienced Class 2–5 driver with a passion for coaching others? Are you safety-focused, mechanically minded, and known for your “can-do” attitude? If so, we want to hear from you.

We’re on the lookout for a Driver Trainer to join this professional, fast paced and highly successful team. This is your chance to take the wheel in a role that blends hands-on driving, mentoring, and training responsibilities – all while helping them continue to deliver best-in-class service across Waikato.

About the Role

Reporting to the People & Safety Manager, the Driver Trainer is key to ensuring all drivers operate safely, professionally, and to the highest standards. You’ll lead new driver inductions, conduct on-road evaluations, coach best practices using modern fleet technology, and support ongoing driver development across the team.

You’ll also be involved in:

  • Coaching conservative driving habits & best practice load securement
  • Conducting pre-start check reviews and raising awareness on key areas of wear & tare
  • Training staff on TMS systems, SOPs, and container forklift use
  • Supporting the Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) culture onsite
  • Performing post-incident assessments and offering improvement recommendations

Leading by example, you’ll be the go-to person for driver-related knowledge and safety excellence.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves:

  • Full NZ Class 2–5 licences
  • Strong mechanical knowledge and understanding of vehicle compliance
  • Proven ability to mentor and train drivers of all levels
  • A safety-first mindset and strong communication skills
  • Experience with load distribution and axle weight management
  • Great time management, patience, and integrity

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience using Scania Fleet, Volvo DynaFleet, NAVMAN, and/or TMS platforms
  • Container forklift training experience

Interested?
