Job description

Copart are recruiting HGV Drivers to join our supportive network of professional drivers, working from our Colchester Operations Centre CO7 6HR and covering the surrounding areas.

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.

• Excellent customer service skills
• Strong attention to detail
• Confident in the use of handheld devices, with experience in the use of basic IT applications
• Adaptable, with the ability to organise and adjust your working day
• Car transportation or recovery experience would be an advantage, but isn't essential

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.
• Give Back: Receive a paid day to volunteer for a charity of your choice.
• Company uniform and PPE
