Job description

Overview

Do you have what it takes to be Car Transporter Driver?

We are expanding our fleet and are currently looking for an HGV Driver to join our supportive network of HGV drivers at our Bristol Operation Centre, BS10 7SF.

A Copart Driver loads, collects and delivers vehicles of all shapes and sizes from both rural and urban environments.

A reasonable salary expectation based on an average of 7 vehicle collections per day, would be approx. up to £44,988pa.

We see Copart as a family and as a supportive network. We work together to strive for greatness in a forever changing environment, but not forgetting to enjoy the journey.

What we need from you

• HGV/LGV Licence Class 1 or 2
• A good understanding of the EU 'drivers' hours' and 'working time' rules using a Tachograph
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Excellent customer service skills
• Proficient in basic IT skills and the use of a handheld device
• Car transportation or recovery experience would be an advantage

What we offer you in return

• Time For You: Relax with 23 days of holiday plus bank holidays, and an extra day for a personal special occasion.
• Give Back: Receive a paid day to volunteer for a charity of your choice.
• Health & Wellness: Healthcare Cash Plan, allowing you to claim cash back on a range of healthcare products and services including dental, optical, chiropody, and specialist consultations, tests, and scans and Virtual GP access.
• Your Future: Join our contributory workplace pension scheme for financial security.
• Investment: Purchase shares in our global company at a discounted rate.
