Van Driver / Mover Jobs Dublin | Join Get Cracking

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

Get Cracking Relocations & Storage is looking for reliable van drivers and movers to join our removals team in Dublin.

The role involves much more than driving. Our crews work directly with customers, protect and move furniture, load vehicles correctly, assist with packing and help complete residential and commercial removals safely and professionally.

Work can include local Dublin removals, moves throughout Ireland and, depending on the role and operational requirements, opportunities to work on European relocations.

Van Driver Jobs Dublin With Get Cracking

Our van drivers are an important part of the moving team.

On a typical moving day you may be involved in:

• Driving company removal vehicles
• Loading and unloading household or office contents
• Protecting furniture before transport
• Packing and securing goods inside the vehicle
• Carrying boxes and furniture
• Dismantling and reassembling standard household furniture
• Following inventories and job instructions
• Communicating professionally with customers
• Working closely with other members of the removals crew
• Keeping vehicles and moving equipment organised

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
• Careful when handling customers’ furniture and belongings
• Organised and able to manage time effectively

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.

Customer Service Matters

Our movers and drivers represent Get Cracking directly in customers’ homes and workplaces.

A professional attitude is therefore essential.

Customers may be moving house, relocating abroad or moving an entire business, and moving day can be stressful. Our crews are expected to communicate clearly, work carefully and treat the customer’s property and belongings with respect.

Teamwork at Get Cracking

Removal work depends on teamwork.

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

Everyone needs to communicate, follow the moving plan and help complete the job safely and efficiently.

Job Location

The role is based with Get Cracking Relocations & Storage in Dublin.

Jobs may take place throughout Dublin and Ireland, with European travel possible for suitable roles where required.

Working Hours

Removal work varies depending on customer bookings and the type of move.

Some positions may involve casual, weekend or holiday work, while availability requirements will depend on the vacancy being advertised.

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

Why Work With Get Cracking?

Working in removals gives you experience across driving, logistics, customer service, packing and furniture handling rather than spending the entire day behind the wheel.

Depending on your experience and position, you may work on residential, commercial, national and international relocations.

Get Cracking Relocations & Storage is based in Dublin and provides moving and relocation services in Ireland and internationally.
