Job description

Copart have a new Operation Centre in Gloucester and are recruiting HGV Drivers to join our team!

You'll be working from Monday to Friday, with no nights out or bank holiday working, so you'll benefit from a great work-life balance and have more time to yourself.

As a Car Transporter Driver, you'll load, collect, and deliver accident-damaged vehicles, often requiring physical effort. This full-time, Monday to Friday role offers a great work-life balance with no bank holiday work.

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.

After training a reasonable salary expectation based on an average on 7 vehicle collections per day, would be approx. £43,568 per annum.

• HGV Licence Class 1 or Class 2
• Current CPC
• A good understanding of the EC Drivers Hours and Working Time regulations using a Tachograph
• Driving experience in both rural and urban environments

• Excellent customer service skills
• Strong attention to detail
• Confident in the use of handheld devices, with experience in the use of basic IT applications

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.
• Appreciating You & Others: Celebrate special moments with access to our Recognition Hub and E-card collection.
• Your Future: Join our contributory workplace pension scheme for financial security.
