AIRPORT TRANSFER DRIVERS

Exemplar Coaches and Limousines is proud to be the leading airport transfer company in the Cairns-Port Douglas region. We are a family run business operating from Port Douglas since 1993. The majority of Inbound Tour Operators and agents prefer to use our services above others. We also service many local hotels in Port Douglas, Palm Cove and Cairns and the general public.

It is company policy to have a narrow and expert focus on airport transfers only. Exemplar is not distracted with local town shuttles and the personal life disruption that has for drivers. Our drivers can plan their lives around work with set weekly rosters and daily manifests received by 5pm the day before work. If you are a driver already, and want some certainty regarding your daily life and work, think about calling Exemplar.

Our head office and depot is located in Craiglie, as such, we currently seek airport transfer drivers who reside in the Port Douglas and Mossman area. These positions are part time permanent with extended hours up to fulltime equivalent if required. All superannuation and entitlements apply as per the National Employment Standards.

Exemplar has a sound reputation as a fair and equitable employer in our region.

You must demonstrate a safe driving record and hold a current Driver's License (LR min) and Qld. Driver's Authorisation (DA). Training is provided.

Please note that driver’s must hold these mandatory qualifications before applying. Backpackers need not apply.
