The Role

This is a relief driver position working on a contracted logistics operation at East Midlands Gateway. The role covers Class 1 and Class 2 driving as required and involves a range of tasks including trailer swaps, RDC deliveries and multi-drop work.

You will be working independently on behalf of the end client, who will be your point of contact for operational and trailer matters. All vehicle and work-related issues are handled directly by our client. Training is provided where needed to get you up to speed and settled into the role.

ADR deliveries form part of this role. Candidates who already hold an ADR licence will be prioritised, though training will be provided to the right candidate if required.

All loads must be safely strapped and secured in line with legal and company requirements. Any delays or issues must be communicated promptly to maintain service standards.

What We Are Looking For

• Valid HGV Class 1 or Class 2 licence
• Valid digital tachograph card
• Up to date CPC card
• ADR licence (desirable, training available for the right candidate)
• Keen, efficient and committed to safe working practices
• Flexible and able to cover Class 1 or Class 2 as the operation requires
• Able to take ownership of your work and operate independently

A Note on Culture

This is a family-run business that takes pride in looking after its people fairly. In return, they ask that drivers bring the same level of pride to their vehicles, their trailers and the responsibility they carry to customers and their operations.

This role is being managed by Pivt Group on behalf of our client. Pivt Group specialises in placing veterans and service leavers into civilian careers. We welcome applications from all candidates with the right skills and experience.
