Based at the Pickerings depot in Northampton.
45 hours per week, 7.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday (start time may be earlier when HGV driving).
Overtime hours paid at one and a half times basic hourly rate.
Who are Pickerings?
Pickerings is a leading supplier of high-quality temporary buildings. We design and supply solutions to a diverse customer base, including schools needing extra classrooms, commercial businesses needing additional office space, and construction sites needing a complex of offices and welfare facilities.
The Role
As part of the depot's operations team, you'll primarily be responsible for ensuring our towable welfare units are cleaned and maintained before delivering them to customer's sites using a pickup.
Cleaning includes all surfaces, walls, and sanitaryware. Maintenance may include minor repairs to walls and doors, replacement of plumbing and electrical fixtures, and preparation of external walls for painting.
Additionally, you provide cover for the depot's three HGV drivers. When undertaking HGV driving, you will be allocated to a modern Volvo or Scania truck with attached FASSI 660 lorry loader and will be responsible for the accurate delivery and collection of modular buildings, portable welfare facilities, and offices up to 32ft x 10ft (9m x 3m).
About You
You need a full driving licence for manual vehicles with towing authority and practical experience, ideally gained in property maintenance or caretaking roles.
You must hold a Class 1 / C+E licence and preferably have wagon and drag experience. A valid Digital Tachograph Card and Driver CPC are required. Having ALLMI Lorry Loader accreditation D1+E Hook (or equivalent) would be advantageous.
As you will be delivering to client sites, effective customer service skills and professionalism are essential.
Our work is physically demanding and outdoors, so be prepared for weather extremes.
What we offer
In addition to an hourly rate of £14.50 (plus a £35 daily supplement when HGV driving), you'll get:
33 days holidays, inclusive of public holidays and a festive shut-down period.
Company pension and life assurance schemes.
Cycle to work scheme.
Employee Assistance Programme.
