The Role

We're looking for an HGV driver who enjoys a mix of driving and hands-on outdoor work to join a specialist drainage services team.

The role involves operating tanker vehicles, high-pressure jetting, drain cleaning and interceptor servicing at petrol forecourts, distribution centres and commercial sites.

* Comfortable working outdoors and behind the wheel.

* Strong health and safety awareness.

* Flexible approach to travel and operational call-outs.

* Willingness to gain or renew ADR and other relevant qualifications.

Candidates with a current, valid ADR qualification may be eligible to start on £42,000. Where ADR needs renewing, salary progression can be up to £42,000 following probation, subject to agreed terms.

What's on Offer?

* Salary progression from £37,500 to up to £42,000.

* £225 per day for Saturday and Sunday overtime.

* An additional £50 bonus for working both weekend days.

* 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.

* Funded training and relevant industry qualifications, including ADR.

* A varied role combining professional driving and practical site work.
