Driver / Clearance Operative
Premier Junk
Southampton based | Covering the South Coast
Premier Junk is a growing waste clearance and recycling company providing reliable man-and-van style collections for homes and businesses across Southampton and the wider South Coast.
We're looking for dependable, hardworking people to join our clearance teams. This is a practical, hands-on role involving driving, lifting, problem solving and dealing directly with customers.
The Role
* Driving 3.5t Luton vans (driver roles)
* Collecting waste, furniture and unwanted items from homes and businesses
* Loading vehicles safely and efficiently
* Working independently or as part of a two-person team
* Providing good customer service on site
* Updating the office with accurate job information
Most work is around Southampton, but you should be comfortable travelling across the South Coast when required.
Some jobs are straightforward, others involve heavier lifting or awkward access. A positive attitude and reliability matter more than being super fit, but you must be prepared for physical work.
This role will not suit unreliable people.
Typical Work Includes
* House, garage and office clearances
* Furniture and bulky item collections
* Skip bag and construction waste collections
* Fly-tipping removal
* General waste collections of all types
