Careers at ShipShape

Why people stay

• Full time employment: our movers are on payroll, never hired per job from a labour pool.
• Background checked before the first job, because customers let us into their homes.
• Trained on the equipment we actually use, from piano boards to floor protection.
• A schedule you can plan around, with the physical work shared across the crew.

What the work looks like

A day starts at the yard, where the truck is loaded for the first job and checked against the estimate. You will protect floors and doorways, wrap furniture, carry, load, drive on some routes, and rebuild beds and tables at the destination. Local jobs finish the same day; long distance runs overnight.

The work is physical and the standard is high: nothing scratched, nothing broken, and the customer clear on what happens next.

Open roles

Current openings, including driver and crew lead positions, are confirmed with the office rather than listed permanently here. Send an application and we will tell you what is open and when the next shift starts.

Pay and benefits

Rates, overtime rules, benefits and any licence reimbursement are discussed directly with applicants and depend on experience and driving record.
