a background in working with planners and fleet coordinators

knowledge of health & safety and food safety

the ability to develop and motivate a team

experience in recruitment and induction

an understanding of budgets and cost control

a CPC, or be willing to gain one within your first year with us.

Bags of benefits

The amazing facilities and working environment at our Hemel site are not the only benefits of working here. You’ll be able to take your pick from everything from a pension scheme and generous holiday to family-friendly flexibility and ongoing training. You’ll get fantastic discounts on our delicious products too.
