With a competitive $16/hour pay rate and comprehensive benefits, it's an ideal entry point for reliable drivers seeking healthcare careers.

About Cardinal Health

We specialize in pharmaceutical distribution, nuclear pharmacy operations, and logistics that power modern medicine. Our Flowood, MS Nuclear Pharmacy #51 supports vital oncology and diagnostic services across the region. Join a Fortune 500 company committed to innovation, safety, and employee success.

Role Overview

This full-time, 40-hour/week short-term assignment runs Monday-Friday, 4:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with rotating holidays and flexibility for business needs. As a Delivery Driver, you'll operate a non-CDL company vehicle to transport radiopharmaceuticals and oncology medications. Expect early mornings, all-weather driving, and adherence to strict DOT and radiation safety protocols. Prior delivery experience is a plus, but full training is provided on systems like Isotrac packaging and route optimization tablets. Earn $16/hour while gaining specialized skills in nuclear pharmacy logistics.

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike standard driving jobs, this position immerses you in healthcare's critical supply chain. Deliver life-saving doses to hospitals and clinics, ensuring patient care continuity. Short-term nature allows low-commitment entry, with potential for extension or full-time roles based on performance.

Key Responsibilities

Your daily impact includes:

• Preparing and executing safe deliveries to customer accounts on optimized routes using company vehicles.
• Packaging radiopharmaceuticals, performing contamination testing, wiping doses, and loading/unloading per DOT regulations.
• Utilizing handheld tablets for order scanning, navigation, and route efficiency.
• Processing customer returns, verifying shipment labels, and preparing delivery receipts.
• Maintaining vehicles, performing minor repairs, and keeping accurate log books and inspection records.
• Handling biohazard waste disposal and conducting general facility clean-up.
• Participating in mandatory training: radiation safety, HIPAA, blood-borne pathogens, safe driving, and more.

Expect dynamic shifts in day/night conditions and all weather, prioritizing safety and timeliness.

Qualifications & Requirements

We seek dependable candidates who thrive in fast-paced environments:

• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent work experience (preferred).
• Valid driver's license with excellent driving record; must be 18+.
• Ability to lift up to 75 pounds and operate vehicles for extended periods.
• Comfort with early mornings, weekends, holidays, on-call rotations, and overtime.
• Strong communication, customer service, and basic computer/tablet skills.
• Physical mobility to sit, stand, and be active; no fear of all-weather driving.

Prior delivery experience boosts your application, but enthusiasm for healthcare logistics is key. All candidates undergo background checks and training.

Benefits & Perks

Even for this short-term role, Cardinal Health delivers robust support:

• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, vision plans from day one.
• Financial Wellness: 401k savings, HSA, FSAs, and myFlexPay for early wage access.
• Time Off: Paid time off plan to recharge.
• Training & Development: Expert-led sessions on safety, compliance, and tech tools.
• Work-Life Flexibility: Defined schedule with business-driven adjustments.

These perks underscore our investment in your well-being, even short-term.

Career Growth

This assignment is a launchpad. Excel here to transition into permanent Driver, Pharmacy Technician, or Logistics Coordinator roles. Cardinal Health promotes 70%+ internally, with paths to management in nuclear pharmacy operations. Gain certifications in radiation safety or DOT compliance for nationwide opportunities. Our Flowood location taps into Mississippi's growing healthcare hub, near Jackson's medical centers.

Skills You'll Build

Hone expertise in regulated transport, tech-driven logistics, and patient-centric service—transferable to FedEx, UPS, or pharma giants like McKesson.

Why Join Us

At Cardinal Health, you're not just driving—you're enabling cancer treatments, diagnostics, and patient outcomes.
