Your newpany
You will be joining an existing driver pool at a large organisation in the Edinburgh area. Due to a new project being signed off, they are looking to add multiple class 2 HGV drivers for a contract running throughout the majority of 2026.
Your new role
Your duties may include:
1. Collect household,mercial, or industrial waste following scheduled routes for local collection.
2. Operate and drive class 2 waste collection vehicles safely, including driving, manoeuvring in tight spaces, and using lifting and loading equipment.
3. Operate a handheld device for vehicle first-use checks and additional route information.
4. Be well-mannered and courteous at all times, reporting to the depot on time each morning.
What you'll need to succeed
You will need to be able to present a valid UK Driving Licence up to Category C with minimal endorsements, and ideally have experience working in waste & recycling driving roles previously. This contract will require you to start early in the morning from an out-of-town depot, where there will be free parking for your own vehicle and adequate public transport links.
What you'll get in return
You will be offered a start with a large employer on a long-term contract, with the potential for a permanent role to be applied for at any stage. Hays will pay you weekly PAYE with the option of building up a holiday allowance. You will receive regular updates from your Hays consultant and have any queries answered promptly.
