Job description

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

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. £43,438 per annum.

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.
