  • Choosing your home depot location across our Melbourne network - North Fitzroy, Sunshine West, Thomastown, Preston, Doncaster East, Heatherton & Keysborough

We’re after people with:

  • Excellent customer service skills and who enjoy working with people
  • A current Australian car driver’s licence (full licence held for minimum 2 years)
  • Hold Australian work rights (Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident)
  • Willingness to have a pre‐employment functional and drug and alcohol assessment
  • Willingness to obtain a Driver Accreditation (CPV) and Working With Children Check

**Please note those shortlisted must attend an assessment centre from our North Fitzroy depot**.

The benefits of working with us:

  • Employment with Australasia's leading mass transit bus operator
  • Best base rate, penalties and allowances across the industry - $40.52 base rate per hour
  • Full on-the-job training is offered to approved applicants
  • Comprehensive Employee Assistance Program including wellbeing, financial and nutritional coaching, counselling, and legal advice
