Job description

Overview

We are recruiting HGV Drivers to join our team, working from our Operation Centre in St Helens, WA10 3DB.

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.

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.

Salary

After training a reasonable salary expectation based on an average on 7 vehicle collections per day, would be approx. £42,167 per annum.
