Protranz is growing, and we’re looking for a solid, safety-minded Class 5 Driver to join the team.

You’ll be driving modern equipment completing a mix of civil and cartage work across Christchurch and wider Canterbury. The role includes a combination of around-town work and open-road running with the trailer, plus the occasional trip further afield when the job requires it.

If you like variety, decent hours and working with a crew that gets things done, this could be a great fit.

What you’ll be doing:

• Operating heavy vehicle and trailer combinations safely and professionally across civil and cartage jobs

• Moving a range of goods between yards, sites and customers

• Completing thorough pre-start and end-of-day checks to keep the truck safe, compliant and ready for the next run

• Meeting schedules without compromising safety, load security or quality standards

• Keeping logbooks, vehicle checks and basic paperwork accurate and up to date

• Communicating with dispatch, site supervisors and clients to keep loads and jobs running smoothly

• Taking pride in keeping your truck, gear and work area tidy and well looked after

What we’re looking for:

• A full New Zealand Class 5 licence

• A clean or good driving record and a genuine commitment to safe driving

• Experience in civil, bulk haulage, construction cartage or similar heavy transport work is a real advantage

• Someone reliable who turns up on time, ready to work, and can be trusted to get on with the job

• Confidence working independently in the cab and as part of a small, close-knit crew on site

• A straight-up communicator with a practical, down-to-earth attitude

Why drive with Protranz:

• A solid hourly rate, so safe, steady and reliable work is recognised in your pay

• Fuel allowance included, helping you keep more of what you earn

• Consistent, ongoing work with a growing civil and transport company

• Variety in your day, including different gear, sites, loads and responsibilities

• Opportunities to develop your skills and move into other equipment or roles as the business grows

• A capable crew that backs each other and takes pride in doing the job properly

• Modern, well-maintained equipment

Pre-employment requirements
The successful applicant will need to complete:

• A pre-employment medical assessment

• Drug and alcohol testing

• Licence and driving-record verification
