Post:Driver
Organization: Government & Defence Emergency Services
Location: Launceston & North East
Work type: Part Time
As a Driver in the Army Reserve you’ll be trained to drive and operate some of the world’s most advanced transport machinery – from road trains and barges to off-road forklifts. You’ll become a specialist within the largest logistical support organisation in Australia working within the Army’s fleet of landing craft, road transport and amphibious vehicles. Being a skilled Driver in the Army Reserve doesn’t require a big commitment either. It’s flexible with a minimum requirement of 20 days a year.
Drivers deliver the Army’s fuel, oil, food, supplies and ammunition to barracks, military exercises and battlefield environments. As well as learning important leadership and specialised skills, you’ll also enjoy outdoor activities and experience new and exciting challenges in your local community.
These driver roles are open to both females and males. View stories of Army Reservists and Drivers at:
