Are you an experienced HGV Driver looking for something different in your next driving role - where no two days are the same and you can combine your love of driving with a sense of pride in delivering fantastic customer service? Read on and find out more about joining a team where your contribution is truly valued.

At Sunbelt Rentals UK, our vision is to own the future of rentals. In the last year alone, we’ve invested more than £10 million on vehicles and £1.5 million on a new logistics system, ensuring our network of over 1000 transport colleagues always remain connected and our customers receive a world-class service.

We now have a fantastic opportunity for a HGV Category C Driver to support our Service Centre operations, helping us to deliver our promise of quality products and services on time, every time for our customers.

Every day brings something new - travelling to different locations, meeting customers, delivering and collecting a wide range of plant hire equipment – from excavators and telehandlers to generators and scissor lifts - to name just a few. You’ll also demonstrate how to operate the equipment, so we’ll ensure that you have the training and skills needed to carry this out in a professional and safe manner.

The personal qualities you’ll bring are as important to us as your skills and experience. You’ll be the face of Sunbelt Rentals, the first person that most of our customers will see, so we’ll expect you to be a great brand ambassador. Friendly and helpful, you’ll be the kind of person who goes out of their way to help their team-mates and customers.

Responsibilities

• Travel to different locations to deliver and collect a wide range of plant hire equipment (e.g., excavators, telehandlers, generators, scissor lifts).
• Meet customers and provide excellent service while delivering and collecting equipment.
• Demonstrate how to operate equipment and perform job tasks in a professional and safe manner.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Hold a HGV Category C driver’s licence.
• Demonstrate ability to operate and train others in plant hire equipment (training provided as needed).
• The employer’s FORS Gold accreditation reflects a commitment to safety; awareness of safe driving and vehicle operation is important.

What we offer

• Good work/life balance with a Monday-Friday pattern, 42.5 hours per week, with potential overtime by mutual agreement.
• Join a highly successful FTSE100 company and the UK’s largest equipment rental provider.
• Industry-leading rewards package including generous holiday allowance (with the option to buy and sell annual leave), life assurance, retail discount scheme, employee recognition awards and a great company pension scheme.
