Situated in leafy Box Hill, Green Light is one of Melbourne's most-respected courier companies. You'll be working in a passionate team committed to building the first environmentally responsible courier company.
We consider our drivers our most important asset, and we only work with the best. If that's you, then we want you to help take us forward as we 'go places'!
In order to convince you to play on our team, we know we need to show you why you'd want to work with us! Read on ...
- You are truly
valued and respected when you drive for Green Light
- after all, you're the heart of our business! Many
of our drivers have been with us for over 20 years
- and we think that record is one to be proud of.
Our drivers will continue to be the success of our
company. We value them immensely.
- Green Light
drivers earn good money. Because every
courier company's pay structure is different, it's
difficult to get definite statistics on this. Our
drivers tell us it's true!
- We provide
thorough induction, good training and ongoing support.
During the training period, a fellow driver will
be assigned as your 'mentor', to assist with any
questions and concerns you may have. We also provide
for ongoing communication with your manager, giving
you a chance to share any problems, opportunities
and ideas. And of course, you'll be integrated into
our supportive network of fellow drivers, managers,
business owners and office employees (who are always
quick with a smile and, on extra good days, responsible
for the home baking to be found in our kitchen!).
After all, your success in becoming a happy, secure,
long-term driver is also our success!
- There are no set-up
costs, no admin costs, no hidden costs
for our drivers. All you'll really need is your
own vehicle, any size from bicycle to large commercial
- although we do recommend being armed with an e-TAG
and a Melways. Other than that, we supply everything
you need, including a radio and a comfortable uniform
(conditions apply).
- We're growing fast,
which is great news for our drivers and our team. We are so busy
that our drivers don't sit around with no work to
do - in fact, our current fleet is flat-out
which is why we're recruiting now! Further, our
open-channel despatch radio ensures that everyone
hears everything, meaning that everyone gets a fair
go.
- Understanding that
the courier industry inherently harms the environment,
we are Melbourne's first courier company
to make a public commitment to 'going green'
and being part of the solution, rather than part
of the problem - click
here to see the changes we've introduced, which
include putting a brand-new Honda Civic Hybrid vehicle
on the road!
- It's our belief that
the 'work'place should also be a fun environment.
We hold regular social events, and keep all staff
in the loop with our regular staff newsletter, which
also features competitions and give-aways.

Hall of Fame to hear from some of our current
drivers about why they choose to work with us. It
may be your picture in our gallery one day!
So, you'll want to know what your life will be like if you take this job! Let us paint a picture:
Owner-driver: Envisage an 8-8.30am start, from home, to approximately 5.30pm. Sometimes you'll finish a bit earlier, and sometimes a bit later, depending on the routes, but despatch will endeavour to have you finish your day in your own suburb or nearby. The job is primarily Monday-Friday; we have very little weekend work, but when we do, weekend jobs are shared around the fleet. It is not compulsory to say yes to a weekend job.
If you require time off, all we ask is that you give us a full week's notice, to help us with our planning (and out of respect for the team-mates who will potentially cover you). That way, we make sure we're prepared and can continue to deliver the reliable service we're known for.
Salary information: Our drivers assure us that Green Light drivers earn good money. In the commission structure, you are rewarded for your efforts. Our drivers tell us that the best in the industry (and it's those kinds of drivers we employ at Green Light!) prefer not to work on hourly rates, because then their earning potential is restricted. When a driver is particularly good, we believe he or she should be appropriately rewarded. It's a fair system that honours skill, initiative, brains, and commitment. As a general guide:
- A good full-time driver averages about $1000 income per average week. Those earnings may rise to $1400 or $1500 for great drivers in bigger (1 or 2 tonne) commercial vehicles.
- Generally, the bigger your vehicle, the better your earning potential - but having said that, some of our top earners drive sedans, they just happen to be efficient operators and excellent couriers!
For successfully navigating the streets of Melbourne:
- Own vehicle, must be in good condition and presentable. We prefer LPG, white, post 2000 - but do not insist.
- An up-to-date Melways.
- A CityLink e-TAG - highly recommended!
Other:
- An ABN
- Most of our drivers choose to register for GST, meaning they can claim tax deductions on their business expenses. It is not compulsory (some drivers hate paperwork so much they choose not to!) and can be done at any point in your employment.
- You must tell your insurance company that you use your vehicle for business purposes.
At Green Light, we're committed to providing our clients with the highest possible level of customer service. This involves:
Being courteous
Being punctual
Being friendly and open
Being reliable
Presenting yourself professionally
Within these standards, we encourage you to let your personality shine through! You'd be amazed at how a little of your friendliness and flair can brighten up the working day of the clients you visit.
As a representative of Green Light, we ask that you're willing to conduct yourself under our system of values:
Integrity
Transparency
Respect
Justice
Finally, out of respect to your fellow drivers, team-members and Green Light clients, we ask that you will be courteous and reliable with your roster commitments, and remind you to give a full week's notice if you require time off.
