Raincoast Erosion Control Ltd. is hiring an experienced Hydroseed Truck Driver to join our team. This is a full-time position based out of our Coombs, BC yard, with travel to project sites across Vancouver Island, the BC Interior and northeast BC. Applicants currently living in the Peace region are encouraged to apply - we run work out of Fort St. John and Grande Prairie and will work with the right person on travel and rotation.

Be transparent on what this job is. It is a driving position, but the truck is only half of it. Between loads you are on the deck and on the ground - carrying and breaking mulch bales into the tank, climbing the ladder up and down onto the deck throughout the day, dragging hose across slopes and uneven ground, and washing out at the end of it. This job is physically demanding every day, not just on the big ones. If you are looking for a seat-time truck job, this is not one.
