Ms Hayes, has worked at Divall's in Goulburn since March, 2017.

She said: "Every day is different."

"I can be doing anything to do with things to do with the drivers one day and then accounts the next and then the next day you're doing all the registrations."

Of her job, Ms Hayes said she enjoyed working with a large team.

"It is very social and it's good to have that interaction with all the drivers," she said.

This is the first time Ms Hayes has won an award.

"It was very nice to be recognised for the hard work you do," she said.

"It's really good to know that they recognise someone like me who is behind the scenes. It's just nice that they recognise the people in the background."

Ms Hayes knew of the company but had not considered working for Divall's. That was until Andy and Jody Divall approached her at a hospital fundraiser.

"I was actually volunteering and Andy and Jody saw potential in me," Ms Hayes said.

"Jody called me the week after to see if I wanted a job. I am so thankful to them for seeing the potential in me, and for considering me for the award."

NatRoad chairman Paul Fellows said Ms Hayes was known for her can-do attitude, commitment to continued learning and personal desire to achieve a high level.

"Jamie-Lee's commitment to her role has seen her flourish in her pursuits," he said.

"She's an inspiration to others and demonstrates the integral role operations staff play in our businesses."
