Job Description

Qantas Road Express is seeking a Long Distance Driver in Australia to transport freight safely and reliably over scheduled routes. Applicants are expected to hold the appropriate heavy-vehicle licence, have a strong safe-driving record, and meet fatigue-management, medical and drug-and-alcohol requirements. Previous experience with long-haul or heavy-vehicle operations, loading procedures, delivery documentation and basic vehicle checks is desirable. The role requires punctuality, independence, good customer service, clear communication and the ability to work rotating schedules, weekends or overnight shifts. Candidates must follow company, road-transport and workplace-safety procedures, maintain accurate records, care for equipment and represent the Qantas group professionally.

Company Info

Qantas Road Express Pty Ltd, trading as Jets, is part of the broader Qantas Group transport and logistics network. The business supports the movement of freight and operational goods by road, helping connect airports, freight facilities, customers and communities across Australia. Its work complements Qantas freight and aviation services by providing dependable ground transportation and time-sensitive delivery capability. Long-distance drivers contribute directly to this network by operating heavy vehicles, meeting delivery schedules and maintaining high standards of safety and compliance. As a Qantas-related employer, the company is likely to place strong emphasis on operational reliability, fatigue management, customer service, teamwork and adherence to transport regulations. Employment conditions can vary by location, route, licence classification, experience and applicable workplace agreements.

Destination Guide

Australia offers opportunities in transport, logistics, aviation, warehousing, mining and regional supply chains, with drivers in demand across major cities and remote areas. Work culture is generally practical, safety-focused and relatively informal, while punctuality, reliability and clear communication are valued. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth to quieter regional communities with lower housing costs and extensive outdoor activities. Australia is an island continent, although distances between towns can be very large, so relocation may involve long travel and limited public transport in regional areas. Visa options may include employer-sponsored skilled visas, the Working Holiday Maker program for eligible nationalities, or other skilled and temporary pathways. Applicants should check licence-transfer rules, English requirements, health checks, police clearances and current Department of Home Affairs conditions before relocating.
