We are proud to be partnering with a market-leading food supplier, a household name that provides high-quality products to all major supermarkets, independent stores, and pubs across the UK.
Due to continued expansion, we are seeking professional and reliable Multi-Drop Van Drivers with specific chilled product delivery experience to join our client's dedicated transport team. This is a fantastic opportunity to represent a major brand and play a vital role in the UK's food supply chain.
The Role
As a Chilled Van Driver, you will be based at our client's Birmingham depot and will be responsible for the timely and secure delivery of chilled goods. You will be assigned to one of two key routes—either the dynamic South (London and surrounding areas) or the extensive North (North West area)—completing approximately 10 drops per day. You will be the face of our client, ensuring their reputation for excellence is upheld at every delivery point.
A key feature of this role is the efficient handling of goods:
* Your vehicle will be pre-loaded for you at the depot, allowing for a prompt start to your day.
* The role involves some, but limited handballing for deliveries.
* At many larger sites, such as supermarkets, forklift trucks will be used to unload the items, minimising manual handling.
Key Responsibilities
* Safely and efficiently operate a modern, refrigerated van, performing daily checks and defect reports.
* Maintain chilled unit integrity throughout the journey to ensure product quality and compliance.
* Plan your route effectively to complete approximately 10 drops per day, meeting all scheduled delivery windows.
* Professionally represent our client when delivering to a diverse range of customers, from major supermarket RDCs to local independent stores and pubs.
* Manage the unloading process, which includes limited handballing at some locations and coordinating with site forklift operators at others.
* Manage all paperwork and digital proof-of-delivery (POD) accurately using a company-provided device.
* Fully comply with all company and roadside health & safety procedures.
The Ideal Candidate (What We're Looking For)
* ESSENTIAL: Proven experience in chilled product delivery
* A full, valid UK driving licence.
* Previous experience as a multi-drop driver is highly desirable.
* Experience driving a chilled or refrigerated vehicle is essential.
* A strong customer-focused attitude with excellent communication skills.
* Physically fit for limited manual handling and able to safely coordinate with forklift operations.
* Reliable, punctual, and professional in appearance and conduct.
* A good geographical knowledge of either the London area or the North West area is beneficial.
What's On Offer
* A competitive hourly/weekly rate and potential overtime.
* A permanent, full-time position with a leading national employer.
* Modern, well-maintained fleet vehicles.
* Comprehensive induction and ongoing training.
* The opportunity to be a key part of an essential and thriving industry.
