Job description

Yard Operative/Relief HGV Driver – Huws Gray Queensferry

Whether you’re loading up or hitting the road, you’ll play a key part in our success.

Be part of something bigger at Huws Gray.

Whether you’re in the trade or simply love a good home improvement project, chances are you’ve heard of us. We’re the Huws Gray Group – home to a family of trusted brands including Huws Gray, Huws Gray Plant & Tool Hire, Civils & Lintels, The Timber Group, PDM, NDI, and Anglia Tool Centre. Across the UK, our branches support local communities with everything they need for building, improving, and creating – we couldn’t do it without our people and that’s where you come in!

What you’ll be doing

As a Yard Operative/Relief HGV Driver, you’ll play a vital role in the day‑to‑day running of the yard. Here’s what the job involves:

• Providing a friendly, knowledgeable service to customers in the yard
• Safely receiving and organising deliveries – keeping the yard tidy and secure
• Supporting with vehicle loading/unloading – helping the team get deliveries out on time
• Making occasional local deliveries – when cover is needed (e.g. holidays or absences)
• Being vigilant about stock security and safety procedures

We’re 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 in asking.

What you’ll bring

You don’t need to be an expert to get started – we’ll show you the ropes. We’ll give you the training and support to help you feel confident and ready to go. What really matters is that you’ve got a can‑do attitude and you’re happy to step in and help wherever it’s needed. You’ll need a Class 2 licence for this one, and if you’ve got a forklift licence too, that’s a nice extra – but it’s not a must‑have.

What’s in it for you

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

• 24 days’ holiday, plus 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

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.

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.

If you need any adjustments to support you through the application or interview process, please let us know.
