Duties for the Class 1 Driver (HGV/LGV) include 1-2 trunks per day to Costco stores, with a possible collection on return from one of their suppliers. This is purely a driving role as the vehicle is security padlocked and only opened by store staff when arriving at the destination.

The only time a driver is expected to assist with loading will be at one of the client's customers. All other sites will load the vehicle themselves.

Average hours for Class 1 Drivers (HGV/LGV) are 10-12 hours per day. Weekday shifts may be longer during busy periods, while weekend shifts can be shorter. A minimum of 8 hours will apply.

This is a 7 day a week, 52 week a year operation.
