Are you looking for van driver jobs in Dublin and enjoy practical, physically active work?

- Dismantling and reassembling standard household furniture
- Following inventories and job instructions

What We Look for in a Van Driver / Mover
Moving work requires reliability, teamwork and good customer service as well as driving ability.
Applicants should be:
- Reliable and punctual
- Comfortable with physically active work
- Professional when dealing with customers
- Able to work effectively as part of a team
- Confident using maps and GPS navigation
- Comfortable loading and organising a removal vehicle
- Able to follow instructions and job documentation

Driving Licence Requirements
Applicants for a driving role must hold a full driving licence valid for the type of vehicle being driven and valid for use in Ireland.
Experience driving a 3.5-tonne van or similar commercial vehicle is particularly useful.
Drivers must also meet any applicable company and motor-insurance eligibility requirements.
Removal Experience
Previous removals, delivery, furniture handling or commercial driving experience is an advantage.
Experience with the following is particularly useful:
- Furniture removals
- House moves
- Office removals
- Van or truck loading
- Furniture dismantling and reassembly
- Professional packing
- Delivery work
- Warehouse or logistics work
However, attitude, reliability and the ability to work safely as part of a professional team are also important.
Manual Handling
Removal work involves lifting and carrying furniture, cartons and other household or commercial items.
Appropriate manual-handling training is therefore required for the role. Any specific certification or training requirements will be confirmed during the recruitment process.
Physical Nature of the Job
This is a physically active role rather than a driving-only position.
Drivers work alongside the moving crew and may need to carry furniture and boxes, use moving equipment and work in properties with stairs, lifts or challenging access.
Applicants should be comfortable performing physical work throughout the working day.

A driver may work with a foreman and several movers on larger jobs, while smaller moves may involve a smaller crew.

Specific working arrangements, hours and pay will be discussed with suitable applicants during the recruitment process.
