What will you be doing?

You'll be moving stock like civils, heavy building materials, and drainage solutions from our branches to customers, all while keeping it safe and professional. You'll load up your vehicle with a HIAB (lorry‑mounted crane). You’ll make sure your vehicle’s loaded right, safe, and legal, plus do vehicle checks before hitting the road. Expect plenty of local multi‑drop deliveries, with regular returns to the branch to reload. You'll also pitch in with loading, unloading, and keeping your vehicle clean and tidy. Above all, safety comes first, and you'll make sure our standards never slip. You'll also support within the branches Yard, focusing on greeting customers, managing stock and keeping the area clean and tidy.

Who you are

  • You’ve got a Category C Class 2 driving licence.
  • Your CPC (DQC Card) is up to date.
  • You’ve got recent HGV driving experience (if you've worked with a lorry loader/crane, even better, but not a deal‑breaker).
  • You’re comfortable chatting with customers and building solid relationships.
  • You take safety seriously and always work in a professional and safe way.
  • You’re passionate about delivering for customers.
  • You’ve got the drive and ambition to be part of a great team.
