Job description

Overview

HGV Driver - Huws Gray (Kelvedon) - Drive Safely. Deliver on Time. Represent Huws Gray on the Road.

Be Part of Something Bigger at Huws Gray. Whether you're in the trade or simply love a good home improvement project, chances are you've heard of us. We’re the Huws Gray Group – home to a family of trusted brands including Huws Gray, Huws Gray Plant & Tool Hire, Civils & Lintels, The Timber Group, PDM, NDI, and Anglia Tool Centre. Across the UK, our branches support local communities with everything they need for building, improving, and creating – we couldn’t do it without our people and that’s where you come in!

As a HGV Driver, you play a vital role in ensuring our customers receive their materials on time and in great condition. No long‑haul journeys, no late nights—just local deliveries and a strong team backing you up every step of the way.

Responsibilities

• Deliver materials to our local customers – making sure they get exactly what they need, when they need it.
• Build great relationships on the road – acting as an ambassador for our brand.
• Stay up to date with Health & Safety practices, including tachographs, training, and delivery administration.
• Take pride in your vehicle – ensuring it meets all relevant standards.

We’re happy to explore flexible working options

Feel free to chat with us about it during the interview. While we might not be able to meet every request, we’ll always listen with an open mind—and there’s no judgment in asking.

What you’ll bring

We don’t expect you to know everything from day one – if you have a Class 2 licence, we’ll give you the training, tools, and support to succeed. What matters most is your positive attitude and willingness to get stuck in. A HIAB licence is a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.

What’s in it for you

We believe great work should be recognised and rewarded. Here’s what you can expect:

• 24 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays.
• Company bonus scheme, based on performance & attendance bonus.
• Contributory pension and life assurance.
• Discounts on high street retailers, supermarkets, restaurants, gyms and cinemas.
• Colleague discount across our group brands.
• Attraction and travel discounts.
• Training and development programmes to support your growth.

We offer on-the-job training and opportunities to work towards recognised qualifications, including apprenticeships.

Diversity & inclusion

At Huws Gray, we believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce makes us stronger, smarter and better at serving our customers.

We’re proud to be an equal opportunities employer and we are committed to creating a respectful and inclusive workplace, whether you’re based in one of our branches, on the road or in one of our offices.

If you need any adjustments to support you through the application or interview process, please let us know.
