Job description

We’re looking for an experienced HGV Driver to join the team at our Lords Builders Merchants branch in Park Royal (NW10). This is no ordinary driving role — you’ll be part of a busy, hard-working team helping our customers get the building materials they need, when they need them.

You’ll be driving a range of vehicles between 18 and 32 tonnes, so experience and confidence with larger vehicles is key. If you like variety, getting stuck in, and taking pride in a job well done — this could be the role for you.

Responsibilities

• Delivering building materials safely and efficiently to construction sites and trade customers
• Operating HIAB cranes to load and unload heavy goods
• Driving a variety of HGVs across Greater London and surrounding areas
• Carrying out daily vehicle checks and reporting defects
• Helping out in the yard or warehouse when needed
• Providing friendly, helpful service to our customers on every job
• Ensuring all loads are secured and documentation is correct
• Representing the business with professionalism and a positive attitude

If you enjoy being out on the road, working with a supportive team, and want to be part of a growing business that values its drivers — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and let’s build something great together!
