Driver / Operator – Wellington
More Than Just Driving
InterGroup is looking for a reliable and motivated Driver / Operator to join our Wellington Infrastructure team.
This is a hands-on role where you'll operate specialist sump cleaning vehicles to help maintain Wellington's stormwater network. Alongside operating the truck, you'll be involved in setting up work sites, completing manual tasks, and working as part of a close-knit crew to deliver essential maintenance services across the region.
If you're looking for a role that combines driving, operating specialist equipment, and working outdoors, we'd like to hear from you.
About the Role
As a Driver / Operator, you'll be responsible for operating specialist sump cleaning vehicles to clean and maintain stormwater sumps, catch pits, and drainage assets throughout Wellington.
This isn't a driving-only position. You'll spend plenty of time operating the equipment, setting up sites, handling hoses, clearing debris, and completing the physical aspects of the job. No two days are the same, with work taking place across residential streets, busy urban areas, and commercial locations.

Operate specialist sump cleaning vehicles safely and efficiently
Clean and maintain stormwater sumps, catch pits, and drainage assets
Operate vacuum and suction equipment
Carry out manual operational tasks alongside vehicle operation

A full Class 4 driver's licence
Experience operating heavy vehicles or specialist equipment
Good physical fitness and willingness to undertake manual work
A strong commitment to health and safety
A reliable attitude and strong work ethic
The ability to work independently and as part of a team
Experience in drainage, infrastructure, civil construction, or vacuum loading would be an advantage but isn't essential.

Enjoy stable work with a well-established national business.
Varied, Hands-On Role
Spend your day operating specialist equipment, not just driving between jobs.
