Job Description

Hy-Vee is a leading grocery retail chain operating across the Midwestern United States, renowned for its strong commitment to customer service and quality products. Founded in 1930, Hy-Vee has grown into one of the most trusted names in grocery retail by consistently delivering an exceptional shopping experience. Hy-Vee prides itself on its company culture centered around teamwork, community involvement, and operational excellence. The company operates numerous stores featuring departments such as bakery, deli, pharmacy, floral, health, wellness, and grocery. At Hy-Vee, the team members are considered the company’s greatest strength, and employees are empowered to provide outstanding service in all areas.

Hy-Vee is currently seeking a dedicated Delivery Driver to join its Grocery Department. This is a non-exempt, hourly position that plays a key role in ensuring courteous, efficient service by delivering groceries and other products directly to customers. Delivery Drivers at Hy-Vee are responsible not only for timely delivery and customer satisfaction but also for maintaining a clean and well-kept company vehicle. As an extension of the store’s customer service, this role requires professionalism, a growth mindset, and the ability to collaborate effectively with store management and other departments.

The Delivery Driver will provide prompt, friendly service, making customers feel valued by greeting them warmly and addressing their needs with care and patience. Drivers handle payment collection and change issuance at point of delivery, adhering strictly to company financial procedures. Maintaining food safety by keeping products at proper temperatures during transport is a critical responsibility, ensuring consistent quality and customer trust. Drivers must adhere to Hy-Vee’s policies regarding personal hygiene, dress code, and work attendance.

This role has core competencies such as building cooperative partnerships, results orientation, and a focus on delivering memorable customer service experiences. Hy-Vee supports employees through investment in their professional growth, access to training, and a positive work environment. The Delivery Driver functions under the supervision of various store leadership team members including the District Store Director, Store Manager, and several department managers. Although this is an entry-level position requiring no specific educational prerequisites, candidates must be at least 18 years old and possess a valid driver’s license with no Department of Transportation restrictions.

Physical demands are moderate to heavy, requiring the ability to lift and carry packages up to 50 pounds, frequent walking and standing, and the capability to enter and exit delivery vehicles repeatedly throughout the day. The role often includes working under conditions involving noise, dust, temperature variability, and time-sensitive delivery schedules. Familiarity with vehicle maintenance and safety procedures is also important since delivery vehicles must be kept clean and functional.

In summary, the Delivery Driver at Hy-Vee is a vital team member dedicated to extending the company’s promise of "a helpful smile in every aisle" beyond the store floor and into the community. This employment opportunity offers an engaging environment with a focus on professional and personal growth, customer interaction, and the chance to be part of a reputable organization committed to excellence in grocery retail.
