Are you an experienced HGV Driver looking for something different in your next driving role — where no two days are the same and you can combine your love of driving with a sense of pride in delivering fantastic customer service? Read on and find out more about joining a team where your contribution is truly valued.
At Sunbelt Rentals UK, our vision is to own the future of rentals. In the last year alone, we’ve invested more than £10 million in vehicles and £1.5 million in a new logistics system, ensuring our network of over 1000 transport colleagues remains connected and our customers receive a world-class service. Our FORS Gold accreditation demonstrates our commitment to driver and vehicle safety, supporting our core value of prioritising safety above all.
We now have a fantastic opportunity for an HGV Category C+E Driver with HIAB to support our Service Centre operations, helping us deliver our promise of quality products and services on time, every time for our customers.
Every day brings something new — travelling to different locations, meeting customers, delivering and collecting a wide range of plant hire equipment, from excavators and telehandlers to generators and scissor lifts, to name just a few. You’ll also demonstrate how to operate the equipment, so we’ll ensure you have the training and skills needed to carry this out professionally and safely.
The personal qualities you bring are as important as your skills and experience. You’ll be the face of Sunbelt Rentals, the first person most of our customers will see, so we expect you to be a great brand ambassador. Friendly and helpful, you’ll go out of your way to assist your team-mates and customers.
What can we offer you in return? You’ll benefit from a good work/life balance with a Monday-Friday working pattern of 42.5 hours per week, with the potential for overtime by mutual agreement.
You’ll be joining a highly successful FTSE100 company, the UK’s largest equipment rental provider. We offer an industry-leading flexible rewards package, including a generous holiday allowance (with the opportunity to buy and sell annual leave), life assurance, retail discount scheme, employee recognition awards, and a great company pension scheme.
About You
From day one, our focus will be on your training and development, including attending our company induction and Sunbelt Driver Training course. Your manager will work with you to identify your personal development needs and career progression opportunities, including gaining new qualifications. We’re committed to developing our team-mates and promoting internally wherever possible.
What you will need to bring to the role:
* A fully competent HGV driver with licence category C+E, preferably with a clean driving licence (no more than six points)
* Licence category E with Driver CPC and Digital Driver Card is desirable (training may be available)
* HIAB Licence
* Experience in moving plant or powered access equipment, with IPAF or ADR certification desirable
* Good customer service and communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships and represent Sunbelt Rentals well
* A flexible and adaptable approach; you will be an effective team player
* Articulate and organised, with a good level of attention to detail and accuracy
