Job description

Working Hours: Monday to Friday
We are BSS. With over 110 years of heritage, we are the UK’s leading distributor of heating, pipeline, process, and mechanical services equipment. As a proud part of Travis Perkins plc., the UK’s largest distributor of building materials, we provide an unrivalled service to the industrial and building sectors. With over 60 branches and a world-class distribution network, we’re the backbone of the British trade industry. Get to know us! [embed: https://www.bssindustrial.co.uk/about-us]
What’s it like to be a BSS Driver / Warehouse Assistant? In this dual-purpose role, you are much more than just a driver—you are the face of our business. You’ll need a flexible, "can-do" attitude to balance life on the road with the fast-paced environment of our branch warehouse. No two days are ever the same, and your character and enthusiasm are what will make the difference to our customers.

• On the Road: You’ll be responsible for loading your vehicle and delivering essential goods to a variety of sites, ensuring our customers receive a fantastic service every time you pull up.
• In the Warehouse: When you’re not behind the wheel, you’ll be in the thick of the action—unloading supplier deliveries, picking orders with precision, and supporting the team on the trade counter.
• Customer Champion: Whether you’re on-site or in-branch, you’ll represent BSS with professionalism, delivering more than just products, but a service they can rely on.
• Safety First: You’ll champion our non-negotiable safety culture, ensuring your vehicle is checked and your warehouse tasks are completed with the highest regard for wellbeing.
  

Do you have what it takes? We are looking for an energetic team player who thrives on variety. While your driving skills are essential, your personality and professional manner are what will truly set you apart.

• The Essentials: You must hold a clean driving licence along with a valid CPC qualification.
• Experience: Ideally, you’ll have previous experience in multi-drop deliveries and be comfortable navigating different locations.
• Adaptability: You enjoy working with people and are happy to switch gears from driving to warehouse duties at a moment's notice.
• Organisation: You take pride in your work, ensuring orders are picked accurately and deliveries are made safely and on time.
• Safety Mindset: You hold yourself and your colleagues to high safety standards, always.
  

What’s in it for you?

• Make your job a journey – We offer massive opportunities for career growth and leadership training across the Travis Perkins Group.
• Competitive salary – Including bonus earning potential because we achieve together and earn together!
• Enhanced pension scheme – Preparing you for the future with matched contributions up to 10% (Conditions apply).
• Group-wide discounts – 20% off at Toolstation, Travis Perkins, and other savings across our various brands.
• Sociable hours – Enjoy your evenings with a schedule that respects your "me time."
• Health & Wellbeing – Support through DigiCare, Cycle to Work, and our dedicated Wellbeing Centre.
• ShareSave – Invest in our collective success through our group share schemes.
  

What about our culture? Every day, we work together, giving our best to be the best. We’re driven to remain a truly inclusive employer where everyone feels safe, welcome, and confident to be their authentic selves.
You be you, it makes us, us.
