Don't just take our word for it, to listen to Dean talk about why he loves working for Travis Perkins.

What will I be doing?

This role involves working 2 days in Keswick and 3 days in Penrith. You’ll be delivering building materials from our branches to local customers in a safe and professional manner. Loading the vehicle in the yard using the HIAB, it’ll be your responsibility to ensure the vehicle is properly loaded, safe, and compliant with road and transport legislation. Our drivers are the face of the business and will demonstrate professionalism on the road and with our customers at all times. You’ll likely perform around 14 drops a day, returning to the branch to reload your vehicle.

Am I right for the job?

You will have a Class 2 driving license, up-to-date CPC records, and 12+ months of driving experience. No HIAB? No problem! The branch will fully fund your HIAB training to ensure you're qualified and comfortable operating vehicle-mounted cranes. You should be confident in dealing with customers, building new relationships, and developing existing ones. You will be safety-focused, ensuring work is completed in a safe and professional manner. We seek passionate drivers who are committed to delivering excellent service and share our mindset and ambition.
