Requirements

• UK Class 1 driving licence
• Safe, professional driver with a good attitude
• Comfortable working away from home
• Customer-focused and able to work on your own or as part of a team
• Happy with hands-on work outside the cab
• Ensure on site risk assessments, site surveys are conducted and all records are submitted promptly and accurately.

Desirable (Not Essential)

• HGV driving experience
• Basic vehicle maintenance knowledge

Experience – Preferable

• Safety Record: A demonstrated commitment to safe driving practices is crucial.
• Driving Experience.

Key Skills

• Effective time management.
• Problem-Solving Abilities.

Other Requirements

• Working overseas includes short term trips of a maximum of 31 days at a time, but can be extended depending on the business needs

• Bank holidays, plus 25 days annual leave, increasing to 28 after 5 years
