Class 2 Driver

Are you a professional driver who takes pride in your vehicle, your service, and your reputation on the road? Gilmours Manukau is looking for a dedicated Class 2 Driver to join our team on a full-time basis, Monday to Friday with a rotational Saturday shift. 

As a Driver, you are more than just a delivery person—you are a vital brand ambassador. You’ll be responsible for ensuring our customers receive their orders accurately and on time while building the strong relationships that keep our business moving.

The Role

This is a fast-paced, autonomous role where no two days are the same. You will manage your own runs across the region, delivering a range of ambient, chilled, and frozen products to our diverse customer base.

Key Responsibilities:

• Operational Excellence: Complete daily scheduled calls using efficient route management and precise carton counts.
• Tech-Forward Delivery: Use the Microlise (POD) system for manifests, invoicing, and photo evidence of deliveries.
• Cold Chain Integrity: Maintain the highest food safety standards by monitoring and recording temperatures from start to finish.
• Asset Care: Take ownership of your vehicle and equipment (trolleys, jacks, temp guns), ensuring the truck is returned clean and fueled.
• Customer Ambassadorship: Resolve inquiries on-site and act as a professional representative of the Gilmours brand.

What We’re Looking For

• Licensed & Experienced: You must hold a valid Class 2 License with 2–3 years of delivery experience.
• Physically Fit: This is a hands-on role involving manual handling (we’ll provide the 'Back 2 Good' warm-up training!).
• Detail-Oriented: Ability to manage inventory (including our '1-in-1-out' keg return process) and accurate invoicing.
• Great Communicator: A good command of English and a customer-service mindset.
• Flexible: A team player who is happy to work autonomously across any day of the week.

Why Join Us?

At Gilmours Manukau, we don’t just hand you the keys; we set you up for success. We provide a comprehensive induction covering everything from vehicle "quirks" to advanced tech training.

We maintain a high standard for our team and our customers. We operate a strictly smoke-free and vape-free environment (in trucks, on-site, and at customer premises). We value integrity, safety, and a clean truck policy at the end of every shift.

An essential requirement for this role is a clean Ministry of Justice criminal overview. Please only apply if you can successfully pass a criminal background check.
