Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled professional to join our farming team as a Driver. The successful candidate will be responsible for transporting livestock and agricultural products across multiple farm sites, ensuring safe and efficient delivery.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Operate and manoeuvre livestock trucks safely, positioning them correctly for stress-free loading and unloading of cattle, sheep, and other livestock.
  • Adhere to animal welfare guidelines, minimising distress during transport, including appropriate penning, ventilation, and handling techniques.
  • Coordinate with farm staff to ensure efficient loading of livestock, taking into account breed-specific requirements (e.g., Angus cattle handling protocols).
  • Use hydraulic lifts, ramps, and livestock crates to safely load/unload animals, ensuring smooth transitions to avoid injuries.
  • Monitor livestock behaviour during loading/unloading, adjusting techniques to maintain calm and prevent agitation.
  • Implement biosecurity measures by cleaning and disinfecting trailers between loads to prevent disease spread.
  • Conduct pre- and post-trip inspections of livestock trucks, checking brakes, flooring, gates, ventilation, and fluid levels to ensure animal safety.
  • Report mechanical issues promptly to prevent breakdowns that could jeopardise livestock welfare.
  • Ensure compliance with Chain of Responsibility (CoR) regulations for heavy vehicle operations.
  • Calculate livestock weights and pen distributions to comply with road weight limits and animal density regulations.
  • Secure all gates and restraints to prevent shifting that could harm animals or destabilise the vehicle.
  • Verify NLIS tags and movement documentation before transport.
  • Inspect livestock for signs of injury or illness prior to loading, reporting any concerns to farm management.
Requirements:
  • Minimum 1 year of relevant full-time experience in truck driving.
  • Relevant licensing and qualification.
  • Proven ability to operate heavy vehicles safely, perform load checks, and follow transport compliance standards.
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a farming team.
  • Strong commitment to safety, reliability, and attention to detail.

The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication and teamwork skills, with a strong focus on delivering results-oriented solutions in a fast-paced environment. We offer a dynamic and supportive work environment that encourages growth and development.
