In-cab mentoring and upskilling opportunities CLASS 5 DRIVER WANTED Heavy Transport Professionals | Limited Positions Available Driveforce specialises in workforce solutions and labour hire across multiple industries, but transport is close to our hearts. We're looking for experienced Class 5 drivers who understand that heavy transport isn't just a job—it's a trade, a craft, and a way of life. Whether you're a flat deck operator, carting bulk liquid, running a side loader, doing tipper work, handling over dimension loads, driving logging trucks, operating a HIAB, running curtainsider or general freight, completing metro deliveries, or running line haul across the country—every role is different, every truck is different, and every client has their own unique expectations. We get that. WHAT SETS DRIVEFORCE APART Unlike other labour-hire companies that think you can drive anything with a Class 5 licence, we know transport. Our management team understands the industry from the ground up—and we still get behind the wheel when needed. We've developed a unique model that ensures our on-hire drivers meet the highest standards. We dig deep into your skills and experience—not to catch you out, but because everyone's skill level varies. Our goal is simple: to provide our clients with the right person behind the wheel who will operate their equipment safely, competently, and get the job done without incident. You won't be thrown into stressful situations without the necessary training and experience. We work hard to match operators with roles that suit their capabilities. WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR You may be confident across many areas of heavy transport, or perhaps you've mastered just one. Either way, if you meet our standards, we want to hear from you. This opportunity suits: • Semi-retired drivers looking to keep their hand in • Operators working less than they'd like who want to top up their weekly hours • Those seeking a career change—if you meet our requirements, we'll do the heavy lifting to find you your ideal driving job • Professionals who don't need full-time hours but are available when good work comes in WHAT WE EXPECT • Current full Class 5 licence • Clean driving record • Clean criminal record • Ability to pass pre-employment drug and alcohol testing • Strong references to back up your track record • Customer service mindset • Safety-first attitude—no shortcuts We make no apologies for our robust screening process—the Driveforce entry standard for heavy transport operators is high. But once you're in, you'll be looked after and provided with some great driving opportunities. More are coming up every day. WHAT WE OFFER • Steady work available now, with more opportunities on the horizon • Rates designed to attract professionals—negotiable based on your experience • Management that understands transport and respects the trade • Work matched to your skills and experience • In-cab mentoring and upskilling opportunities There's an old saying: An eagle cannot soar amongst turkeys. If you're an eagle, we want you on our team. You know what you're worth - Let's have a chat. Anyone applying for work with Driveforce whether directly or indirectly, may be required to undergo a pre-employment drug and alcohol test and consent to a criminal background check. You may also be required to provide an ACC history check. Applicants must currently reside in New Zealand and be able to work with New Zealand residency or a valid work visa.
