This position is suited to an experienced driver who has worked in a supply chain environment involving explosives products and understands the importance of following strict transportation, handling and emergency procedures. The role requires someone who can work responsibly with heavy products, comply with relevant safety requirements and maintain accurate records throughout each trip.
The successful applicant will play an important role in ensuring that deliveries reach the correct destinations safely and on schedule.

Key Responsibilities
The Driver will be responsible for receiving assigned products and checking that they are correctly prepared for transportation.
