Class 2/CAT C Drivers Wanted - Gatwick Airport Waste & Recycling Contract

The Best Connection has an exciting opportunity for Class 2/CAT C Drivers Days and Nights to join a busy operation based at Gatwick Airport.

Unlike typical HGV work, this role stays entirely on-site - you won't be covering long distances. Instead, you'll move between terminals and operational zones around the airport, picking up commercial waste and recycling, then delivering it to the on-site recycling centre. Expect a role that combines driving with genuine physical activity - it's far more hands-on than a standard driving job.

Key Details:

Where: Gatwick Airport

Rate: £17.82 per hour

Rota: 4 on, 4 off

Hours: 06:00-18:00 (Days) or 1800-0600 (Nights)

Industry: Logistics Distribution and Supply Chain

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Operating a Class 2 vehicle safely across the airport grounds
• Picking up waste and recycling materials from various terminals and work areas
• Delivering collected materials to the airport's recycling facility
• Loading/unloading waste bins and containers
• Performing routine pre-shift vehicle checks and keeping documentation up to date
• Flagging any vehicle issues, damage or faults without delay
• Staying in regular contact with the wider operations team
• Complying with Drivers' Hours rules, Working Time Directive requirements and Tachograph law
• Adhering to airport-specific security protocols and site safety standards
• Taking on other duties as reasonably required by the operation

What We're Looking For in the Class 2/CAT C Drivers:

• Full UK driving licence, Category C (Class 2)
• Minimum 12 months' recent experience driving HGV Class 2 vehicles professionally
• Current CPC certification and a Digital Tachograph Card
• Solid spoken and written English skills
• Someone happy to be active and physically engaged, not just sitting behind the wheel
• A dependable, conscientious worker who takes pride in their output
• Able to supply a full, verifiable 5-year work and/or education history (required for airside clearance)
• Willing to complete pre-employment drug and alcohol screening
