    HR Tilt Tray Driver

    All Sydney NSWLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    A middle tier materials handling and access company with an aspirational view of their own scale and importance who seek to pay as little as possible for a role they know is worth more.
    The good thingsLate model HR truck, having my fork ticket paid for.
    The challengesPoor communication, vintage paper based systems, low pay for the physical nature of the role. No scales in truck or weighbridge onsite made load planning difficult, company just wanted machines moved, weren't interested in safety once the driver declarations were signed.

    The good thingsAdaptalift have been a supportive and diverse company to work for. I have had many opportunities to move throughout the company to find a position that is suitable for me. They have been supportive with work life balance and through difficulties I have faced both inside and outside work. Adaptalift have a great culture and have built a great team of people to work with. I can’t imagine working for anyone else.
