Job description

This is more than driving. You’ll collect, lift and load containers on and off the vehicle — recovering hazardous & difficult waste across London and the South East. We pay properly, train you up, and want you for the long haul.

This isn’t a here-today-gone-tomorrow gig. We want long-term drivers building a proper career — and we look after the people who look after the business.

Not an issue. If you’re a solid Class 2 driver who wants to learn, we’ll put you through full ADR training and get you qualified — on us.

Key Duties
  • Out on the road across London & the South East, day in, day out.
  • Collecting, lifting and loading containers on and off the vehicle — hands-on work, not just driving.
  • Handling hazardous and difficult waste, then bringing it back to be safely recycled.
  • Varied loads, varied routes — no two days the same.
  • A valid Class 2 (Category C) licence.
  • Someone who takes real pride in doing the job right
  • A reliable, hands-on team player who wants to stick around and grow with us.
  • Got your ADR? Brilliant. Haven't? We'll train you
Nice To Have
  • A sense of humour
  • Ability to work under pressure
  • Good organisation skills

PASSIONATE – We’ are the best & most forward thinking waste management company because we care about our colleagues and our customers. You’ll be passionate about delivering an exceptional service.

CHALLENGING – We are always looking to improve and find the best way

DETERMINED – Things aren’t always easy, and change is hard, but we need to keep evolving. You will want to see things through to completion, even when the going gets tough.

INTELLIGENT – Our business is complicated, and you’ll need to be able to pick things up quickly, even when they’re new concepts.

We Offer
  • 33 Days Holiday - Proper time off to recharge
