Got your HR licence and a clean record? We're looking for a reliable driver who takes pride in their work, knows how to manage their run, and can represent us well at customer sites.

The role

You'll be out on the road transporting scrap metal between customer sites and our yards. It's a hands-on job with variety - different sites, different materials, and a run that keeps you moving.

You'll also be doing some material identification and grading on-site and working with bins at customer locations so an eye for product and a bit of nous about how a yard works goes a long way.

What you'll be doing

• Operating HR vehicles safely and in line with CoR requirements
• Managing daily runs - planning, timing, and making adjustments when things change
• Loading and unloading materials safely and efficiently
• Grading and identifying ferrous and non-ferrous scrap (training provided)
• Keeping documentation accurate and up to date
• Managing bins at customer sites and flagging issues early
• Representing the business professionally at customer sites

Who we're looking for

• Valid HR licence (this is non-negotiable)
• Solid understanding of Chain of Responsibility
• Comfortable working independently and managing your own run
• Good communicator - you'll deal with customers on-site daily
• Crane or forklift ticket is a bonus, not a dealbreaker
• Basic computer literacy for route and reporting systems

Why work with Sims?

• Late-model trucks - we invest in the equipment because we know it matters to you
• Company paid parental Leave: 12 weeks primary / 6 weeks non-primary carer
• BUPA health insurance discounts for you and your family
• Confidential EAP counselling support
