Class 2 Driver – Highbrook!

THE ORGANISATION

Chemfreight is a proud, family-owned New Zealand business that has been operating since 1989. We are an industry leader in the storage and distribution of hazardous goods, backed by state-of-the-art technology and purpose-built storage facilities. Our success is built on the quality of our service, and most importantly, our people, who play a key role in everything we do.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are committed to delivering exceptional service and are looking for an experienced Class 2 Driver to join our awesome team based in East Tamaki, starting early 2027!

Reporting to the Metro Transport Manager, you will play an important role in ensuring the safe, timely and accurate delivery of goods to customers throughout the greater Auckland region.

As one of the faces of Chemfreight, you’ll take pride in providing great customer service, maintaining a professional appearance and representing our business positively.

This is a full-time, permanent position, operating Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Check, prepare and organise freight prior to delivery.
• Safely deliver dangerous goods to customers across the greater Auckland region.
• Complete daily vehicle inspections and truck checks.
• Load and unload freight, ensuring all goods are handled safely and securely.
• Ensure loads are appropriately secured and compliant with relevant transport and safety requirements.
• Maintain accurate delivery documentation and provide excellent customer service.

WHAT CHEMFREIGHT CAN OFFER YOU

• A safe and secure working environment with off-street parking.
• Comprehensive training and development opportunities.
• A supportive team environment with an experienced mentor.
• Competitive remuneration and employment conditions.
• A positive, friendly and inclusive workplace culture.
• Monthly Pizza Friday on the last Friday of every month.
• On-site breakfast facilities.
• Company-provided uniform.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

• A current and valid New Zealand Class 2 driver’s licence.
• A minimum of 12 months’ Class 2 truck driving experience.
• A current Dangerous Goods (DG) endorsement is preferred, but don’t let this stop you from applying if you don’t have one!
• A sound understanding of truck weight limits, axle weights and correct load distribution.
• Experience securing palletised freight using ratchet straps and ensuring loads are safely secured.
• Experience operating curtain-side trucks and tail-lift vehicles.
• The physical capability to safely lift and handle items weighing up to 25 kg.
• A good understanding of health and safety practices, particularly when handling and transporting dangerous goods.
• A reliable, safety-conscious approach with a strong work ethic and a commitment to providing great customer service.

Ideally, you’ll also be comfortable loading and unloading your own truck, so a current OSH-approved forklift licence would be an advantage. While our warehouse team will generally take care of loading your vehicle, there may be occasions when you’ll need to do this yourself.

Your safety, and the safety of those around you, is important to us. As part of our recruitment process, shortlisted candidates will be required to undergo a pre-employment medical and drug check.
