What you’ll be doing:

• Chipping in with stock checks and lending a hand wherever the team needs you

We are happy to explore flexible working options. Feel free to chat with us about it during the interview. While we might not be able to meet every request, we’ll always listen with an open mind-and there's no judgment for asking.

What You’ll Bring:

At Huws Gray Plant & Tool Hire, we know there’s more to you than just a CV. We’re all about celebrating individuality and the different strengths everyone brings to the team. We’ll give you the training and support you need to thrive as a Hire Driver Fitter - you just need to bring a positive attitude and have a Class 2 licence to get started.

At Huws Gray, we believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce makes us stronger, smarter and better at serving our customers.

We’re proud to be an equal opportunities employer and we are committed to creating a respectful and inclusive workplace, whether you’re based in one of our branches, on the road or in one of our offices.

We believe great work should be recognised and rewarded. Here’s what you can expect:

• A strong annual leave allowance, alongside your bank holidays
• Company bonus scheme, based on performance
• Contributory pension and life assurance
• Discounts on high street retailers, supermarkets, restaurants, gyms and cinemas
• Colleague discount across our group brands
• Attraction and travel discounts
• Training and development programmes to support your growth, including your Class 2 licence in some of our locations

We offer on-the-job training and opportunities to work towards recognised qualifications, including apprenticeships.

We’ll support you to gain your HIAB certification if you don’t already have it. Training will be provided by us, and you’ll become fully qualified to operate HIAB equipment. A training agreement will apply, meaning if you leave the business within a set period after completing the training, you’ll be required to repay the cost.
