How does working for a business where over 80% of employees recommend it as a Great Place to Work sound? A business independently accredited as a Great Place to Work , with a high number of “boomerang” employees who choose to come back because the culture, support and opportunity are genuinely there.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two National Rental Drivers (HGV Class 1 / HGV Class 2) to join our Vehicle Rental Team. In this role, you will be responsible for the transportation of a large range of HGVs on a national basis.

The role will involve transportation of a wide range of HGVs including Refuse Trucks, Skip Trucks, Hook Loaders, Cage Tippers, Gully Tankers, Truck Mounted Sweepers, Tractor Units, Walking Floor Combination Trucks, Food Waste Vehicles, Impact Protection Vehicles, Winter Maintenance Vehicles, Traffic Management and Highway Vehicles as well as other specialist vehicle hire.
