We are recruiting on behalf of our client in Northampton for a permanent HGV Class 2 Driver to join their growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a professional driver looking for stable, weekday work with excellent benefits and full Moffett training provided.
The Role
You will be delivering palletised goods (mainly to construction and drylining sites) using a curtainsider vehicle. The role offers a great balance of driving and customer interaction, with minimal manual handling.
* Average 2 runs per day
* Typically 5–6 drops per day (additional drops are local only)
* Deliveries across Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire + 30-mile radius
* Occasional delivery into Central London (Kentish Town)
* 80% site deliveries
* Start time 06:30, finish around 16:00–17:00
* No weekends or bank holidays
Most deliveries are unloaded by the customer using FLT. For smaller sites, you’ll use a Moffett (full training provided and paid for).
What you’ll be doing
* Confirm delivery instructions, plan routes, and meet schedules
* Complete delivery paperwork and obtain customer signatures
* Carry out checks to ensure correct and complete deliveries
* Report any delivery issues, restrictions, or delays
