Job description

We're looking for HGV Drivers to join our team at Copart, based near East Kilbride (G75 0SB).

Copart is a global leader in online vehicle remarketing and recycling, partnering with insurance companies, banks, and automotive businesses. Drivers must comply with legal and company standards, performing vehicle inspections and reporting any issues.

No transporter experience? No worries - we'll provide 3 weeks of one-on-one training and ongoing CPC training. If you have a Cat C licence, you can upskill to C+E after completing your probation.

• Excellent customer service skills
• Strong attention to detail
• Confident in the use of handheld devices, with experience in the use of basic IT applications
• Adaptable, with the ability to organise and adjust your working day
• Car transportation or recovery experience would be an advantage, but isn't essential

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.
• Company uniform and PPE

• Your Future: Join our contributory workplace pension scheme for financial security.
• Investment: Purchase shares in our global company at a discounted rate.
• Fitness & Health: Save money while commuting with our Cycle to Work Scheme and access fitness videos and gym discounts.
