Explore Cleanaway driver roles that make a difference every day

As a Cleanaway truck driver, you’re doing more than transporting waste. You’re providing an essential service that helps keep our communities and environment clean and safe. By collecting and moving waste and recyclable materials, you help make sure they’re processed properly, whether that’s recycling, turning waste into energy, or making sure harmful materials are treated safely. What you do every day really matters.

With over 350 sites across Australia and a fleet of over 6,400 vehicles, our driver jobs are available nationwide, with flexible shifts and different roles, such as transporting oils or solid waste.

If you’re new to truck driving, our industry-leading Driver Academy offers great quality, paid training to help drivers get their HR licence. As part of closing the gender gap in the waste management industry, we're also proud to offer our Driver Academy which is committed to addressing barriers that may prevent individuals from entering the industry.
