Moving Company Jobs in New Jersey: We Are Hiring Now
NJ Great Movers is hiring Moving Drivers, Moving Foremen, and Moving Helpers across New Jersey, with immediate start dates.
People ask us all the time whether being a mover is a good job. Here is the honest answer.
The work is physical and some days are long. You will also finish most shifts knowing exactly what you accomplished, get paid every week, pocket cash tips the same day, and never sit in a cubicle wondering if your work mattered.
For the right person, it beats warehouse work and it beats delivery apps. No degree needed, no experience required for helpers, and a real path from helper to driver to running your own crew.
Career Pathway
Helper → Driver → Lead
Open Positions
All three roles are open across our New Jersey service area.
Moving Helper
Where almost everyone starts, and the fastest way to learn the trade.
Core Responsibilities:
- Wrap and pad furniture so it arrives the way it left
- Carry boxes and furniture, including stairs and walk-ups
- Load and unload trucks under your foreman's direction
- Take apart and rebuild beds, tables, and basic furniture
- Keep the work area clean and the customer in the loop
You need: physical fitness, dependability, and a good attitude. No experience necessary.
Moving Driver
For people comfortable handling a 16 to 26 foot truck on Jersey roads and into the city.
Core Responsibilities:
- Drive safely between job sites across NJ, NY, and CT
- Run pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections
- Work the job alongside your crew
- Handle parking, loading docks, and tight residential streets
- Keep fuel, toll, and mileage paperwork straight
You need: a valid driver's license with a clean record and comfort in traffic. Moving experience preferred.
Moving Foreman
You run the job, lead the crew, and own how the customer feels at the end of the day.
Core Responsibilities:
- Lead a crew of two to four from arrival to final placement
- Walk the customer through the plan and manage expectations
- Handle inventory, paperwork, and payment
- Decide load order, protection, and how to solve problems on the spot
- Train the newer helpers working under you
You need: two or more years of moving experience, clear communication, and the instinct to lead.

Multilingual Team & Strong Community
Russian-Speaking Movers Are Welcome
"Да, мы нанимаем русскоговорящих грузчиков и водителей в Нью-Джерси."
Russian-speaking applicants are welcome across every position we have open. Bilingual Russian and English communication genuinely helps us serve customers and work well as a team, and we treat it as a real asset when we hire.
Persian and Farsi-Speaking Applicants
Bilingual Talent Strongly Encouraged
The same goes for Persian and Farsi speakers. New Jersey is a diverse state, our customers reflect that, and a crew that does too simply works better. Apply for any of the three roles.
What the Job Is Actually Like
We will not oversell it. Moving is hard work, and the people who last are the ones who like that about it.
Real Physical Demand
Expect physical days with lifting, stairs, and weather
Early Shifts
Expect early starts, since most jobs begin in the morning
Clean Slate Endings
Expect to finish and know the work is done, with no email backlog waiting
Professional Onboarding
Expect to be trained properly instead of thrown at a truck
Your Hustle Matters
Expect your effort to be noticed, because crews are small and nobody hides
Fully Licensed New Jersey Carrier
We have operated since 2011 as a fully licensed New Jersey carrier under NJ DCA 39PC00128700, US DOT 3547419, and MC 1186779. Every mover is our employee. Nothing is subcontracted, so you are part of a team rather than a number on a staffing roster.

No resume required. Experience helps for driver and foreman roles, and it is genuinely not needed for helpers.
