Job description

LGV C (Class 2) Dray Driver - Gloucester (GL3 4AQ)

£39,953.67 per year (45 hour week) Permanent | Full Time | Monday-Friday | 04:00-07:00 starts

Are you an experienced Class 2 driver looking for a role where you can stay active, work as part of a solid team and build long term stability? Do you enjoy physical work and delivering to pubs, bars and venues? If so, this could be the next step for you.

This is a hands on role involving the heavy manual handling of kegs and barrels of alcoholic beverages, so you'll need to be comfortable with physical work and confident working in busy environments.

DHL Supply Chain - a global, award winning logistics leader - is recruiting LGV C Dray Drivers for our Trade Team operation in Gloucester. And if you're thinking about progression, there's a clear opportunity to upskill to LGV C+E.

What You Need

Do you hold a valid HGV Class 2 (C) licence, Driver CPC, and Digital Tachograph Card? Are you confident handling kegs and barrels and delivering into pub cellars?

If the answer is yes, you're exactly who we want to hear from. Previous dray experience is an advantage - but new passes are welcome.

What the Role Involves

You'll be delivering alcoholic beverages safely and efficiently to pubs and venues across the region. That means handling kegs and barrels, completing cellar drops, working closely with your Drivers Mate and representing DHL with professionalism. You'll follow all safety standards, drive within Drivers' Hours and WTD regulations, and keep customer service at the forefront of your day.
