The Role

This is a Class 1 cover driver position working on a contracted logistics operation at East Midlands Gateway. The role involves a range of tasks including trailer swaps, trunking, and deliveries and collections to commercial premises.

You will be working independently on behalf of the end client, who will be your point of contact for operational and trailer matters. All vehicle and work-related issues are handled directly by our client. Training is provided where needed to get you settled into the role.

ADR deliveries are a core part of this position. Candidates who already hold an ADR licence (all classes except 1 and 7) will be prioritised, though training will be provided to the right candidate if required.

Nights out are part of this role and are compensated at £31.25 per night. All loads must be safely strapped and secured in line with legal and company requirements. Any delays or issues must be communicated promptly to maintain service standards.

What We Are Looking For

Valid HGV Class 1 licence

Valid digital tachograph card

Up to date CPC card

ADR licence, all classes except 1 and 7 (desirable, training available for the right candidate)

Comfortable with regular nights out as part of the role

Keen, efficient and committed to safe working practices

Able to work independently and take ownership of your work

A Note on Culture

This is a family-run business that takes pride in looking after its people fairly. In return, they ask that drivers bring the same level of pride to their vehicles, their trailers and the responsibility they carry to customers and their operations.

This role is being managed by Pivt Group on behalf of our client. Pivt Group specialises in placing veterans and service leavers into civilian careers. We welcome applications from all candidates with the right skills and experience
