Find Professional Driver Jobs in Vienna

The licence required in Austria depends on the vehicle, the authorised weight, the trailer and the passenger capacity. Always check the category stated in the vacancy.

Category B generally covers cars, taxis, chauffeur work, delivery vehicles and light vans within the legal Category B limits. Category BE may be required for certain Category B vehicle and trailer combinations.

Category C1 applies to medium commercial vehicles above Category B limits but within the C1 limits. Category C is commonly required for rigid heavy goods vehicles and certain special vehicles. Category C1E covers approved C1 vehicle and trailer combinations, and Category CE is commonly required for heavy trucks with trailers or semi trailers.

Category D1 applies to eligible minibuses within the applicable passenger and length limits. Category D is required for many bus and coach positions involving vehicles with more than eight passenger seats in addition to the driver. Categories D1E and DE apply to suitable passenger vehicles combined with trailers.

Category F applies to certain tractors, agricultural vehicles, motorised carts and other eligible special vehicles. Official category details are published by the Austrian government information service.

Licence categories alone do not confirm eligibility for professional work. Code 95, a passenger transport authorisation, a driver card, ADR certification, medical checks or other documents may also be required.

Valid EU and EEA driving licences are generally recognised in Austria, subject to the applicable rules.

A licence issued by a non EU or non EEA country may be subject to different recognition and conversion requirements. It generally needs to be converted within six months after you register Austria as your place of residence. Required documents, translations, medical checks and practical test requirements depend on the issuing country and your circumstances.

In Vienna, official driving licence matters are handled through the responsible City of Vienna authority. An international driving permit does not replace a valid national licence, and FastDriver.eu cannot approve, convert, renew or validate a licence. Vacancies may also require Code 95, a valid digital tachograph driver card or ADR certification.

Language requirements depend on the employer, the passengers, the cargo, the routes and the workplace. German may be particularly important for taxi work, passenger transport, local delivery, customer communication and safety instructions, while some international freight or tourism employers accept English or another working language.

You must be able to understand the instructions, safety procedures, transport documents and emergency communication required for the position.

The employer will check your original licence, professional qualification, driver card, work authorisation and employment history before you begin work, so keep every document current and readable.

Creating a basic driver profile on FastDriver.eu is free.

Keep your licence, qualifications, work history, availability and contact details current. An accurate profile helps an employer understand quickly whether you match the vacancy.

You can review the current driver vacancies at any time and apply to the Vienna positions that match your licence and experience.

Optional subscription, visibility or additional support services may be offered separately. An optional service may improve how your profile is presented, but it cannot guarantee employer selection or employment.

Any fee, duration and service condition is displayed clearly before you purchase an optional service.

Driver salaries and working conditions depend on the position, the employer, the licence category, the experience, the route, the schedule, the collective agreement and the responsibilities.

Before accepting any Vienna offer, check the employer identity, working district, vehicle, licence requirement, schedule, gross salary, overtime conditions, allowances, accommodation terms, contract and starting date.
