Job description

We are looking for a Yard Operative/ Van Driver to join us at Huws Gray Airdrie!

If you’re in the trade or have ever tackled a home improvement project, you’ve probably heard of us. We’re the Huws Gray Group, comprising brands such as Huws Gray, Hirebase, Civils & Lintels, The Timber Group, PDM, NDI, and Anglia Tool Centre. Our branches across the UK serve and support local communities with building materials, and we need the right people to help us do this.

Our Yard Operatives are essential in providing excellent customer service through knowledge of our stock and ensuring products are ready for deliveries and collections. Working in our branches, you'll be part of a team committed to delivering outstanding service and completing tasks efficiently.

Here’s a quick overview of some of the responsibilities of a Yard Operative/ Van Driver with Huws Gray:

• Serving customers in the yard and advising on the best products for their projects
• Supporting incoming deliveries, organizing stock, and maintaining tidiness in line with Health & Safety guidelines
• Assisting with loading and unloading vehicles as part of a team
• Making deliveries using branch vehicles as needed
• Safeguarding stock against loss and theft by remaining security conscious

We value individuality and believe that a diverse team makes us stronger. We provide comprehensive training and the necessary tools for you to succeed as a Yard Operative/ Van Driver. While not essential, holding a forklift license is advantageous. Since the role involves driving and making deliveries in a company van, a full UK driving license is required.

• 23 days of annual leave plus bank holidays
• Company performance bonus scheme
• A contributory pension scheme
• Company-funded Life Assurance
• A generous colleague discount scheme
