MC Waste Drivers: FIFO Leonora, flying from Perth

Waste industry experience is essential for these roles. If you hold an MC licence but haven't worked in waste, we can't consider you.

If you've driven in waste and you're after a FIFO role with day shift only, a room that's yours and a crew that stays, read on.

Our client has just won new contracts and is adding more MC drivers to its Leonora team. These are new positions created by growth, not replacements. We've already placed multiple fulltime employees with this business, and they keep coming back because the work, conditions and culture live up to the promise.

About our client

Our client is a family-founded, West Australian-owned waste management business that started with a single yard in Leonora. Through referrals and reliable work, it has grown into permanent bases across the Goldfields and Mid West. Today it services major mining operations, industrial sites and commercial customers. Its work covers liquid waste, industrial vacuum work, solid and hydrocarbon waste, waste oil, and scrap metal and recyclables. It's part of a wider waste and recycling group that is growing fast.

Unlike competitors that run everything FIFO out of Perth, its crews and equipment are based permanently in the regions, so clients see the same faces every time. That consistency has built a stable team that stays.

What's on offer

• Pay: $150,000 base + super
• Roster: 12 on / 7 off / 9 on / 7 off, so every swing ends with a full week at home
• Day shift only: 6am to 6pm, with no night rotation
• Your own room: a permanent private room with an ensuite. It's locked while you're on R&R, cleaned professionally and never shared.
• Meals and crib supplied
• Flights from Perth on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
• Family first: if there's an emergency at home, they'll fly you home
• Phone allowance: $60 a month

The fleet

The fleet is all automatic, all under 10 years old and mostly under 5. It's made up of Scania automatic road trains, double road trains and tipper combinations.

The work

You'll collect and transport waste for mine sites around Leonora, including:

• Septic waste and wastewater
• Groundwater
• Waste oil
• Skip and hydrocarbon bins

The work is varied and hands-on, including strapping and securing loads by hand, all to strict safety standards.

About you

You already know waste. You've driven skip, front lift, vacuum or liquid waste trucks, or hauled waste in road train or tipper combinations. You're safety-focused, fit for manual handling, and looking for a role you can settle into long term.

Requirements

• Previous experience in the waste industry (essential, no exceptions)
• A current MC licence
• A controlled waste licence, either current or previously held and able to be renewed
• A National Police Clearance issued in the last 6 months
• The ability to pass a pre-employment medical
• To be based in Perth, which is preferred. Interstate applicants are welcome but must get themselves to Perth for each swing.

Why this role?

Many FIFO waste jobs mean shared rooms, night shifts and a crew that keeps changing. This one gives you:

• Day shift only
• A room that's yours
• A modern automatic fleet
• A crew that stays
• A growing business that gets you home when your family needs you
