- Securing loads correctly and following relevant loading, unloading and safety procedures.
- Maintaining professional communication with the transport team, customers and delivery sites.
- Working independently while maintaining high standards of safety, reliability and professionalism.
What We're Looking For
- A valid Class 1 (C+E) driving licence.
- Proven experience in Class 1 HGV driving.
- Flatbed experience is highly desirable.
- A strong understanding of road safety, load security and transport regulations.
- A professional, reliable and flexible approach to work.
- The ability to work independently and communicate effectively.
- A commitment to safe driving and excellent customer service.

- £25 per night out.
- Weekend work and overtime opportunities may be available.
- Shifts and hours will vary depending on holiday cover and ad hoc requirements, with busy cover periods potentially averaging around 60 hours per week.
