The right people for the job

Harbour Driving Duties to Define Before Hiring

Harbour driving assignments vary by vehicle, access conditions and movement schedule, so each request starts with a clear description of the work.

01

HR-Licensed Harbour Drivers

We assess HR-licensed driver candidates against your vehicle class, operating environment and required driving experience.

02

Drivers for Scheduled Harbour Movements

Tell us the reporting time, route within the operation and expected movements so we can evaluate candidate suitability for the assignment.

03

Cargo Transfer Drivers, Scope to Confirm

Dedicated cargo transfer driver supply is not established in the approved client information and needs confirmation before promotion.

04

Vessel-Side Vehicle Drivers, Scope to Confirm

Vehicle driving beside vessel operations requires clarification of the duties, access rules and whether Labour Hire Recruitment provides this specialisation.

Match the Vehicle and Access Rules to the Driver

A valid HR licence does not explain every harbour driving requirement. Vehicle configuration, restricted access and shift instructions all affect the match. We clarify these details before searching for a driver.

Our team checks relevant licences, work history and right-to-work status. We confirm induction and PPE requirements provided for the assignment. After placement, we stay in contact with the employer and driver.

  1. 01

    Confirm Vehicle Class and Access Conditions

    Provide the vehicle type, HR licence requirement, site access rules, work location, shift pattern and planned start date.

    Review Driving Experience and Credentials

    We search for suitable candidates and check their relevant driving experience, right-to-work status and required credentials before placement.

  3. 03

    Coordinate Arrival and Maintain Contact

    We arrange start details and onboarding requirements, then follow up with both parties once the driver begins work.

    Accuracy note: These three H3s summarise Labour Hire Recruitment's documented five-stage process; do not imply its formal process has only three stages. The five stages are needs analysis, talent search, pre-screening and testing, placement and onboarding, and ongoing support.

Harbour Driver Cover for Planned and Changing Shifts

Some harbour operations need cover for a single roster gap. Others plan driving requirements across repeated shifts or longer contracts. Labour Hire Recruitment supports these engagement types, subject to the role and available candidates.

Send us the headcount, vehicle details, shift times and harbour location. Include site access, induction and any additional credential requirements. We will assess the brief and explain the next step without promising immediate supply.
