Pilot Driver

Pilot Driver – Queenstown

Like driving, being outdoors and getting out and about around Queenstown?

We’re looking for a reliable Pilot Driver to support roadside maintenance crews working across the Queenstown area.

You’ll be out on the road helping keep both the crew and public safe while machinery such as tractors, diggers and mowing equipment operates alongside local roads.

No previous pilot driving experience? No worries — training can be provided for the right person.

What you'll be doing:
  • Driving a Class 1 pilot/work vehicle with flashing lights
  • Travelling alongside or behind roadside machinery
  • Helping guide traffic safely around moving works
  • Spotting for machinery and keeping an eye on hazards
  • Helping keep workers, road users and the public clear of active work areas
  • Communicating with the crew throughout the day
What we're looking for:
  • Full Class 1 driver's licence
  • Confident and safe behind the wheel
  • Good awareness of what's happening around you
  • Reliable and comfortable working independently
  • Happy working outdoors in changing conditions
  • Good communication and a strong focus on safety
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol test
Traffic management or pilot driving experience is a bonus, but it isn't essential.

What's in it for you?
  • Get paid to be out and about rather than stuck in one place
  • See plenty of Queenstown and the surrounding area while you work
  • Full-time hours
  • Weekly pay
  • Training provided where required
  • Free Tradestaff PPE
  • Support from our local Queenstown team
  • Potential for ongoing work and other opportunities through Tradestaff
This could be a great fit if you enjoy driving, don't mind an early start and want something a little different from the usual labouring role.

Got a full licence and reckon you'd be good at keeping an eye on the road and the crew? We'd love to hear from you.
