A Copart Roamer / Tramper HGV Driver collects and delivers predominantly accident‑damaged vehicles of all shapes, sizes, and conditions on our salvage transporters and therefore the role can be physically demanding. We work on behalf of our insurance and automotive customers to service agreements. They carry out internal and external checks on their trucks and equipment, report any defects, photograph any damage, and carry out inspections of all collected and delivered vehicles. Copart Drivers must comply with legal and company requirements of a professional driver and operate the vehicle and loading equipment in a safe and efficient manner, following all H&S policies and procedures.

A reasonable salary expectation based on an average of 7 vehicle collections per day would be approximately £52,516 per annum; which includes a Roamer allowance of £3,000 per year. In addition, £45 is payable per night (£30 of which is tax free) for each overnight stay.

• Excellent customer service skills
• Flexibility
• 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 :

• Monday to Friday working
• Additional allowance of £3,000 per year plus an overnight allowance payment of £45 per night (£30 of which is tax free)
• 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
