About the role
You will drive a lorry from our exceptional fleet of Volvo vehicles, all less than 4 years old. They’re a joy to drive, and are equipped to a high specification, including fridges, leather seats and many more optional extras to ensure you’re comfortable.

The role provides job security within a growing, global business. We operate a busy fleet, so there’s always work available.

* You’ll be responsible for inspecting your vehicle and trailer daily and completing a Defect Report if necessary.
