We're looking for a reliable, physically fit 7.5t driver to join a bulky waste collection operation in Oxford. This is a hands-on role you'll be driving to collection points across the area and loading bulky items (furniture, appliances, household waste) throughout the shift. This is not a sit-and-drive job. You'll be expected to work as part of a small crew, lifting and manoeuvring heavy and awkward items in all weather conditions, so a good level of physical fitness is essential.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Driving a 7.5 tonne vehicle on collection rounds across Oxford and surrounding areas
- Collecting bulky waste items (furniture, white goods, mattresses, etc.) from residential/commercial sites
- Manual loading and unloading of items throughout the day
- Working closely with a loading crew to keep to schedule
- Carrying out basic vehicle checks and ensuring safe loading practices
What We're Looking For:
- Valid Category C1 (7.5t) driving licence
- Digital tachograph card and current CPC
- Physically fit and comfortable with regular manual handling/lifting
- Good understanding that this role combines driving and loading not driving alone
- Punctual and reliable, comfortable with an early start (06:00)
- Previous waste, logistics, or bulky item collection experience is a plus but not essential
Why Apply:
- Fixed Monday-Friday hours no weekend work
- Early finish at 14:00
- Active, varied role no two days the same
