The Role – HGV Class 1 Driver
This HGV Driver role involves working directly for our customers on contract. It may involve up to four nights out per week in a Class 1, typically 1 or 2 per week, with secure parking via SNAP. Our client will be your point of contact for all operational work; however, we will be your point of contact if you have any issues with the vehicle or what the customer is asking of you. Training is provided where necessary to familiarise you with the role.
These HGV roles are independent and are ideal for drivers who like to think for themselves. ADR deliveries will be a part of this job, so applicants who already hold their ADR license will be prioritised. ADR training could be provided to suitable candidates.
