The Best LGV job you will ever do! At Ocado Logistics it’s our mission to change the way the world shops for groceries and it all starts with our LGV drivers. Using our state of the art fleet – some powered by natural gas for specific routes and fitted with extra safety technology - our drivers take to the road to deliver and collect products to and from a variety of locations across the UK.
Our larger warehouses (which we call CFC’s – Customer Fulfilment centres) are cutting edge, and vast (our largest is 573,000sq ft – that’s big enough to accommodate 7 Wembley football pitches!) and our LGV Drivers play a crucial role collecting shopping and distributing it across our smaller regional warehouse sites, for onward delivery to customers. We make a big point that we don’t offer multi drops so there’s no hidden lanes! Our LGV Drivers are our unsung heroes and whilst most of us are sleeping they are distributing our products to ensure it's there as and when we need it.
