Let’s take care of work that matters - people, place and purpose. From roads to recycling to reporting, everyone at WM New Zealand (WM) helps take care of our people, protect our whenua and support our communities.
We’re more than waste management – we’re problem solvers, innovators, and hands-on doers. Every one of us, whether behind the wheel, on the tools, or shaping strategy behind the scenes, is helping build a better Aotearoa.
We all pull together on this waka and if you want work that matters, with people who’ve got your back, you’re in the right place.
Our drivers are the faces of WM New Zealand in the community, and we’re looking for people who take pride in their work and enjoy the independence of being out on the road.
This is a permanent, full-time role in an essential service industry where reliability, teamwork, and care for safety really matter.
As a Driver, you will be responsible for operating a vehicle and equipment on board to ensure a safe and timely collection of service. You’ll also be required to keep accurate records and paperwork and undertake vehicle safety checks. You will also be driving a range of vehicles including front loaders, sideload and rear load trucks.
At times there may be some heavy lifting so you will need to have a reasonable level of fitness. From previous experience, you’ll already know the importance of health and safety in the workplace, and you’ll champion our culture of making sure everyone gets home safely.
What you’ll need.
