Job Description
Big wheels, Big Tech, Big
opportunity!
At Ocado Logistics it’s our mission to change the way
the world shops for groceries and it all starts with our HGV
drivers. Using our state of the art fleet – some powered by natural
gas for specific routes and fitted with extra safety technology -
our drivers take to the road to deliver and collect products to and
from a variety of locations across the
UK.
Our larger warehouses (which we call CFC’s – Customer
Fulfilment centres) are cutting edge, and vast (our largest is
573,000sq ft – that’s big enough to accommodate 7 Wembley football
pitches!) and our HGV Drivers play a crucial role collecting
shopping and distributing it across our smaller regional warehouse
sites, for onward delivery to customers. We make a big point that
we don’t offer multi drops so there’s no hidden
lanes!
Our HGV Drivers are our unsung heroes and whilst most
of us are sleeping they are distributing our products to ensure
it's there as and when we need it. Overnight, late in the day and
or early in the morning – even on weekends. You have the option to
work 32 hours over 4 days or 40 hours over 5 days. Our routes are
assigned up to 12.5 hours per day and as such you will regularly be
expected to carry out additional hours as and when
needed.
The available starting bands
are:
Please note that these are your starting
windows, not your contracted shift
hours.
What do you get in
return?
In return, we pride ourselves on offering a safe
working environment that goes without saying and perks and benefits
that you can tailor to suit you and your lifestyle,
including:
And if you suddenly decide being a driver isn’t for
you, there’s also plenty of opportunity for progression, as 87% of
our salaried roles are filled
internally.
So what do we need from
you?
Just bring yourself and a positive attitude (plus a
category C+E driving licence) and our amazing training team will do
the rest, although a minimum of 6 months driving experience is
desirable, this is not essential! You must be a safe and competent
driver and be flexible on your shift length on a daily
basis.
If you meet these criteria and would love to work
with us, then what happens
next?
Pay Structure: This position is lunar paid.
This means you will be paid every 4 weeks according to a monthly
schedule. Please take this into consideration when
applying.
