Are you an experienced HGV Class 2 Driver looking for something different?
We are looking for reliable and hardworking Class 2 HGV Drivers to train as a VAC EX Operator.

You will be trained to operate the specialist equipment.
So, if you're an HGV driver who wants to get away from spending your entire day behind the wheel and learn a specialist, hands-on skill, this could be the opportunity for you.
