A job where you are in the driving seat!
As the face of Tesco out on the road, our HGV drivers get the opportunity to meet and talk to different colleagues at stores. Thats why this role is about much more than just driving: it's about helping others and delivering great service, with a smile.

Youll meet great people, learn new things and be part of a specialist, diverse team, where everyone is welcome.
Whether you are looking for stability or flexibility to suit your lifestyle, or the opportunity to progress your career, this can be the role for you.
You will be responsible for:
Professionally representing the Tesco brand whilst on UK roads
Ensuring our products reach our stores on time and in good condition
Being out on the road but also working collaboratively with colleagues and representing Tesco to everyone you meet
Driving safely, responsibly and within the law
Collecting as well as delivering, supporting your distribution centre by moving trailers and keeping vehicles fuelled
You will need:
To be passionate about delivering great customer service
Friendly, approachable and reliable
Able to adhere to WTD and EU Drivers Hours
To become a Tesco Driver, you'll need a full HGV 1 (C+E) EU license with no more than six penalty points, needs a valid DQC and a Driver Card.
