Job description

About the role

The Best LGV job you will ever do!At Ocado Logistics it's our mission to change the way the world shops for groceries and it all starts with our LGV drivers. Using our state of the art fleet - some powered by natural gas for specific routes and fitted with extra safety technology - our drivers take to the road to deliver and collect products to and from a variety of locations across the UK.

Our larger warehouses (which we call CFC's - Customer Fulfilment centres) are cutting edge, and vast (our largest is 573,000sq ft - that's big enough to accommodate 7 Wembley football pitches!) and our LGV Drivers play a crucial role collecting shopping and distributing it across our smaller regional warehouse sites, for onward delivery to customers.

We make a big point that we don't offer multi drops so there's no hidden lanes!

Our LGV Drivers are our unsung heroes and whilst most of us are sleeping they are distributing our products to ensure it's there as and when we need it.

You will be required to work within a flexible shift pattern consisting of nights, late, and early shifts, including weekends. You have the option to work 32 hours over 4 days or 40 hours over 5 days. Our routes are assigned up to 12.5 hours per day; as such, you will regularly be expected to carry out additional hours as and when needed. This role is based at our Dordon site, Danny Morson Way, Dordon B78 1SE.

Benefits

What do you get in return?In return, we pride ourselves on offering a safe working environment that goes without saying and perks and benefits that you can tailor to suit you and your lifestyle, including:

• Employer-funded private medical insurance after 12 months of service
• Paid Digital Tachograph card renewal
• Paid Driver Medical in line with licence requirements- through our approved supplier
• We will provide your ongoing periodic CPC training during your career
• Up to 7% matched pension contributions after three months of service
• High street shopping and restaurant discounts including 15% off Ocado.com
• And if you suddenly decide being a driver isn't for you, there’s also plenty of opportunity for progression, as 87% of our salaried roles are filled internally.

Requirements

So what do we need from you?A passion for driving and all things trucks and lorries, along with the following driving licence requirements:

• A category C+E driving licence
• A maximum of 6 penalty points
• No driving disqualifications in the past 10 years
• Minimum of 12 months experience on your driving licence
• Desirable to have a minimum of 6 months LGV experience

It also is a prerequisite that you are a safe and competent driver with the ability to be flexible on your shift length on a daily basis. As our new state of the art fleet are our pride and joy and we need to know they are in safe hands.
