Do you enjoy being on the road, working independently, and delivering great service every day?

Do you enjoy being on the road, working independently, and delivering great service? Pathlab is looking for a reliable, customer-focused Casual Courier Driver to join our Logistics team and provide cover when needed across the Waikato.

This is an important frontline role supporting healthcare services throughout the region. Every collection and delivery you make contributes to the diagnostic services that help care for patients every day.

About the role

As a Casual Courier Driver, you will provide additional support to our courier team, covering shifts during periods such as annual leave, sick leave, and increased operational demand. You will be responsible for the safe and efficient transportation of time-critical medical samples between Pathlab sites, healthcare providers, and other locations. You will collect a Pathlab vehicle from our Tristram Street base and spend most of your shift travelling throughout the Waikato region.

As this is a casual position, there are no guaranteed hours of work. Shifts will be offered as required, and we are looking for someone with flexibility to work across our operating hours, including weekends and public holidays when needed.

At Pathlab, safety comes first. We’re looking for a driver who demonstrates safe and courteous driving behaviours, makes sound decisions in changing road conditions, and actively manages risks to themselves and other road users.

Requirements for this role:

You will have:

• A clean and current full NZ driver’s licence with a minimum of two years’ driving experience.
• Confidence driving in a range of environments and road conditions.
• Flexibility to accept casual shifts between 8.00am and 10.00pm, including weekends and public holidays when required.
• The physical capability to regularly get in and out of a vehicle and lift and move items as required.
• Confidence using mobile and computer technology.
• Strong communication skills and a commitment to excellent customer service.
• A reliable, adaptable, and professional approach.
• Current eligibility to work in New Zealand.

Why Pathlab?

At Pathlab, people are at the heart of what we do. You’ll be part of a supportive Logistics team contributing directly to healthcare services across our communities.

This casual opportunity could be a great fit if you’re looking for flexible work, enjoy driving and working independently, and want a role where your contribution genuinely matters.

Our people also have access to confidential wellbeing support through Clearhead and a free annual influenza vaccination.
