Delivery Driver

You will operate as a key partner in daily operations, executing routes, maintaining inventory accuracy, and safely operating a company delivery van on public roadways while representing the organization at each school site.

• Load, verify, and accurately count all orders before departure
• Safely operate a company delivery van on public roads
• Follow assigned routes and coordinate with dispatch as needed
• Ensure food quality and temperature standards are maintained
• Verify deliveries, obtain signatures, and complete basic documentation
• Communicate professionally with school staff during deliveries
• Report delays, issues, or discrepancies to dispatch or management
• Follow all food safety and vehicle safety procedures
• Maintain cleanliness and organization of delivery vehicle
• Support loading, unloading, and occasional additional operational tasks

What You Bring

• Minimum 1 year of delivery driving experience (vans preferred)
• Valid Class C driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability to pass background check, drug screen, and driving assessment
• Basic understanding of food safety and handling procedures
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Ability to work early morning shifts and occasional overtime
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs as needed
• Reliable, punctual, and professional attitude
• Ability to work independently and follow structured routes

Work Environment

• Fast-paced, route-based delivery environment
• Work performed in a delivery van and at school sites
