This isn’t just a driving job. It’s a role that gets you out on the road, into the countryside and right at the heart of our farming community.

From loading your truck at the mill to delivering directly to our customers, every day brings different journeys, different people and different challenges. As a Farm Delivery Driver with Carr’s Billington, you’ll be more than the person behind the wheel. You’ll be a familiar face to our customers and an important part of the service they rely on. If you enjoy hands-on work, being out and about and taking pride in a job well done, this could be the start of a rewarding long‑term career with us.

Every day we provide rural and agricultural communities with the support they need to succeed. Whether they are after a healthier herd or flock, increased yields, faster growth rates, a decent return on their land or even just a helping hand. We have the people, products, and services to help our customers get from where they are now to where they want to be. This is why every role at Carr’s Billington is hugely important to our shared success and why we welcome talent from across all different backgrounds to work across our retail, feed, machinery, fuel and central support divisions.

THE JOB

As one of our Farm Delivery Drivers, you’ll play a key part in getting animal feed from our mill to the farms and customers who rely on us.

This is much more than simply driving from A to B. You’ll start your day at the mill, getting your vehicle loaded and ready before heading out on the road to make deliveries to farms across the area. You’ll meet a wide range of customers, tackle different delivery locations and be a familiar face representing Carr’s Billington out on the road.

What will you actually be doing?

• Getting out on the road delivering and collecting animal feed safely and efficiently using our LGV vehicles.
• Getting hands‑on at the mill, preparing and loading your vehicle ready for the day’s deliveries.
• Delivering directly to farms and rural locations, so you’ll need to be comfortable with the realities of agricultural deliveries and accessing a variety of sites.
• Building great relationships with our customers. You’re not just delivering a product, you’re representing Carr’s Billington and providing the friendly, reliable service our customers expect.
• Taking pride in your vehicle, completing your daily checks and making sure any defects or concerns are reported straight away.
• Driving safely and responsibly, following drivers’ hours, road transport requirements and the conditions of our Operator’s Licence.
• Working efficiently, planning your day alongside the wider transport team and taking a flexible approach when customer or operational needs change.
• Keeping safety front and centre, whether you’re at the mill, on the road or making a delivery on a customer’s farm.
• Looking after fuel efficiency, using a safe and economical driving style and making the best use of your vehicle.
• Maintaining our high standards, including the relevant requirements of UFAS, FIAS and NOPS, with all the necessary training and guidance provided.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who takes pride in doing a good job. Someone who enjoys being out on the road, is happy to get stuck in and understands that great service can make all the difference to a customer.

If you’re looking for a driving role with variety, responsibility, customer contact and the opportunity to become a valued part of the agricultural community, we’d love to hear from you.
