A unique and inspiring career!
We are offering a rare opportunity and a high-quality and award-winning heavy vehicle licensing program to encourage more people to join the transport industry.
Our program includes a five-week training course, held at our Preston plant, blending classroom and practical, hands-on driving training elements. We will also help you get your HR license!
After you complete the course, you will commence with our Metro team working out of our Greenacre and Banksmeadow plants. This will see you working on some of Sydney’s most exciting major infrastructure projects such as M6, and will include underground work on tunnel projects. You will be working with leading names in the industry such as Rozelle, Lendlease and John Holland.
What you will bring to the team
We are looking for passionate individuals who are confident and excited to take on a new challenge with a global leader.
No truck licenses are required for this position! We will provide you with all the training and support for you to get an HR license. However, this is what we need from you:

- Be able to meet the criteria for licensing, which includes signing a declaration about medical, interlock devices and outstanding fines and disqualifications

Moreover, you will build strong working relationships with others, communicate in a friendly way and provide a high level of customer service when visiting sites.
