VES are seeking a professional and experienced driver to safely operate a clinical waste van and related equipment around metropolitan Melbourne. The successful candidate will be responsible for the safe collection and unloading of wheelie bins and containers from client sites across Melbourne and will demonstrate sound customer service skills.

VES are offering:

• A full-time position with an immediate start
• Training
• RDOs
• Fully maintained vehicles
• Safe working practises
• Company supplied uniforms
• Weekend work where required
• Early starts and overtime hours

You must have the following:

• Hold a full driver’s license with a good driving record
• Strong safety focus
• Customer service skills
• Strong knowledge of Melbourne metro area
• Be committed with a good work ethic
• Good literacy skills required

As part of the usual recruitment process applicants may be requested to undergo a police check and medical examination, including a drug and alcohol test.

Applications close 18th October, 2013.

Interesting, and quite pleasing, to read an advert of this kind that places safety at the centre of the role. “Safe working practises” and a “Strong safety focus” on the part of the applicant are important attributes to success, but too often overlooked by those organisations.

Good luck to the applicants, and to VES for their positive approach to safety management.
