Job description

Job Title: 3.5 Tonne Van Driver

Are you an experienced driver seeking a role where no two days are the same? Do you want to combine your love of driving with delivering excellent customer service? Join our team where your contribution is valued.

At Sunbelt Rentals UK, our vision is to own the future of rentals. We have invested over £10 million in vehicles and £1.5 million in a new logistics system to support our network of over 1000 transport colleagues and ensure top-tier service for our customers. Our FORS Gold accreditation highlights our commitment to driver and vehicle safety, emphasizing safety as our top priority.

We are offering a fantastic opportunity for a 3.5 Tonne Van Driver to support our Service Centre operations by delivering quality products and services on time to our customers.

Your daily tasks will include traveling to various locations, meeting customers, and delivering and collecting plant hire equipment such as excavators, telehandlers, generators, and scissor lifts. You will also demonstrate how to operate this equipment, with training provided to ensure safe and professional handling.

We value personal qualities as much as skills. As the first point of contact for many customers, you'll be a great brand ambassador—friendly, helpful, and proactive in assisting team members and clients alike.

What we offer:

• A balanced work pattern: Monday-Friday, 42.5 hours per week, with potential for overtime.
• Joining a successful FTSE100 company, the UK's largest equipment rental provider.
• An industry-leading rewards package, including generous holiday allowance (with buy/sell options), life assurance, retail discounts, employee recognition awards, and a comprehensive pension scheme.

About You

We focus on your training and development from day one, including our induction and Driver Training courses. Your manager will help identify your development needs and career progression opportunities, including gaining new qualifications. We are committed to internal promotion and growth.

To succeed in this role, you should have:

• A full Category B driving licence, preferably with a clean record (no more than six points).
• Desirable: Category E licence, Driver CPC, and Digital Driver Card (training may be available).
• Excellent customer service and communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships and represent Sunbelt Rentals professionally.
• A flexible, adaptable approach and effective teamwork skills.
• Good organization, attention to detail, and accuracy.
• A strong commitment to health and safety, complying with relevant legislation and company policies.
