HGV2 Driver

First Choice Recruitment

We are looking for an experienced HGV2 Driver to join a busy and friendly timber merchant based in Gateshead.

Hours & Pay:

  • Monday to Friday – 7:00am start, finish around 4:30pm

  • £14.50 per hour basic

  • Overtime after 8 hours at £21.75 per hour

  • Holiday pay accrued weekly (paid separately)

The Role:
As a HGV2 Driver, you’ll be delivering timber products to construction sites across the North East. You can expect up to 8 drops per day (sometimes 2 drops to the same site). Loads will need strapping down securely, and while many are forklifted off, you’ll need to assist with offloading when required.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Valid HGV2 Licence, CPC, and Digital Tachograph Card

  • Experience securing loads with straps

  • Ability to work safely and professionally on busy sites

  • Access to a PC or laptop to complete digital application packs (emailed to you)

Please note: While this is regular ongoing work, it’s not suitable for HGV2 Drivers already in permanent employment.

If you’re a reliable HGV2 Driver looking for a steady Monday–Friday role with great overtime rates, we’d love to hear from you.
