About this role
Last Mountain Plumbing is a family-run plumbing and heating contractor serving Aldergrove East and the surrounding Fraser Valley communities. We keep a small fleet of vans and a one-tonne truck moving parts, fixtures and equipment between our shop, suppliers and job sites, and we need a dependable driver to keep that run on time.
The day starts at the shop around seven, loading orders against the day's job sheets and checking the vehicle before heading out. You will run parts to plumbers on site, pick up stock from suppliers in Langley and Abbotsford, and drop off fixtures for upcoming installs. Most days are local and you are back at the shop by late afternoon, with the vehicle fuelled and the paperwork handed in.
What you'll be doing
- Loading and routing. Load the van or truck against the day's job sheets and plan the most efficient route between the shop, suppliers and sites.
- Site deliveries. Deliver parts and fixtures to plumbers on active job sites and get a signature or note on each drop.
- Supplier pickups. Collect orders from plumbing and building suppliers in Langley, Abbotsford and Surrey and check them against the packing slip.
- Vehicle care. Complete the daily walk-around, keep the vehicle clean and fuelled, and report any damage or maintenance issue to the shop.
What they're asking for
- Licence. A valid Class 5 BC driver's licence with a clean driving record.
- Experience. None required; we will train the right person on our routes and paperwork.
- Physical fitness. Able to lift and carry fixtures and boxes up to 50 lbs and load them safely.
- Reliability. Consistent attendance and a phone number we can reach you on during the shift.
What the employer offers
- Paid overtime. Anything over 40 hours in a week is paid at time and a half.
- Uniform and gear. Company shirt, jacket and steel-toed boots provided after probation.
- Benefits. Extended health and dental coverage after three months for full-time staff.
About truck driver work in Canada
What the work is
Drivers move freight between depots, warehouses and customers. Long-haul routes run for days or weeks away from home; regional routes return most nights. Canadian fleets run both automatic and manual heavy trucks, and hours of service are strictly regulated and electronically logged, so schedules are enforced rather than flexible.
What employers usually ask for
A provincial Class 1 licence for heavy trucks — or Class 3 for smaller vehicles — a clean commercial driving record, and a current medical fitness certificate. Most employers want two years of verifiable experience and a driver abstract. Cross-border routes may require a passport or a FAST card.
If you are applying from outside Canada
Foreign licences do not transfer directly. You generally have to obtain a Canadian provincial licence, and some provinces require training at an approved school first. Because this is provincial rather than federal, check the rules for the province you are targeting. Insurers often decline drivers without Canadian experience, which is why many newcomers start with a smaller carrier to build a record.
