Don't just take our word for it, listen to Dean talk about why he loves working for Travis Perkins.
What will I be doing?
As a Van Driver, you will start by driving customers' products to site and collecting. Once you have been fully trained, you will help load and unload vehicles and maybe even assist in getting orders ready during busy periods. You will also provide cover for our 3 HGV vehicles, which includes delivering on our tool-hire beaver tail vehicle. HGV driving would be for approximately 15 weeks a year across different areas.
As an HGV Driver, you’ll be working to deliver building materials from our branch to local customers in a safe and professional manner. Loading the vehicle in the yard using the HIAB, it’ll be your responsibility to ensure the vehicle is properly loaded, safe, and compliant with road and transport legislation. Our drivers are the face of the business and will demonstrate professionalism whilst on the road and with our customers at all times. You’ll perform around 14 drops a day, regularly returning to the branch to reload your vehicle.
Am I right for the job?
You will have a Class 2 driving license, up-to-date CPC records, and 12 months+ driving experience. No HIAB? No problem! The branch will fully fund your HIAB training, ensuring you’re qualified and comfortable operating vehicle-mounted cranes. You will be confident in dealing with our customers, building new relationships, and developing existing ones. You will be safety-focused, ensuring work is completed in a safe and professional manner. We are looking for like-minded drivers who are passionate about what we do and delivering for our customers, with the same mindset and ambition.
