Job Description:

Big wheels, Big Tech, Big opportunity!

At Ocado Logistics it’s our mission to change the way the world shops for groceries and it all starts with our HGV drivers. Using our state of the art fleet – some powered by natural gas for specific routes and fitted with extra safety technology - our drivers take to the road to deliver and collect products to and from a variety of locations across the UK.

Our larger warehouses (which we call CFC’s – Customer Fulfilment centres) are cutting edge, and vast (our largest is 573,000sq ft – that’s big enough to accommodate 7 Wembley football pitches!) and our HGV Drivers play a crucial role collecting shopping and distributing it across our smaller regional warehouse sites, for onward delivery to customers. We make a big point that we don’t offer multi drops so there’s no hidden lanes!

Our HGV Drivers are our unsung heroes and whilst most of us are sleeping they are distributing our products to ensure it's there as and when we need it. Overnight, late in the day and or early in the morning – even on weekends. You have the option to work 32 hours over 4 days or 40 hours over 5 days. Our routes are assigned up to 12.5 hours per day and as such you will regularly be expected to carry out additional hours as and when needed.

What do you get in return?

In return, we pride ourselves on offering a safe working environment that goes without saying and perks and benefits that you can tailor to suit you and your lifestyle, including:

• Employer-funded private medical insurance after 12 months of service
• Paid Driver Medical in line with licence requirements- through our approved supplier
• We will provide your ongoing periodic CPC training during your career
• Up to 7% matched pension contributions after three months of service
• High street shopping and restaurant discounts including 15% off Ocado.com

And if you suddenly decide being a driver isn’t for you, there’s also plenty of opportunity for progression, as 87% of our salaried roles are filled internally.

So what do we need from you?

A passion for driving and all things trucks and lorries, a positive attitude and a category C+E driving licence are a must – but our amazing training team will do the rest!

It also is a prerequisite that you are a safe and competent driver with the ability to be flexible on your shift length on a daily basis. As our new state of the art fleet are our pride and joy and we need to know they are in safe hands.

If you meet these criteria and would love to work with us, then what happens next?

• Fill in our online application - there is no CV required!
• Our friendly team will conduct a telephone interview
• You will complete a Right to Work Checks
• A face-to-face interview and an interview drive will then take place with a driving assessor.
• Following this, we will ensure you are happy with the role and understand the shift patterns before any offers are made

Pay Structure: This position is lunar paid. This means you will be paid every 4 weeks according to a monthly schedule. Please take this into consideration when applying.

Basic hourly rate: £18.48

Overtime rate Monday to Saturday (Day Shift): £23.10
