Don't just take our word for it, to listen to Dean talk about why he loves working for Travis Perkins. What will I be doing?
As a Van Driver you will start by driving customers' products to site and collecting, once you have been fully trained, you will get involved in helping to load and unload vehicles and maybe even helping to get orders ready in busy periods. You will also provide cover for our 3 HGV vehicles, this includes delivering on our tool-hire beaver tail vehicle, HGV driving would be for approx 15 weeks a year covering across the different areas.
As a HGV Driver you’ll be working to deliver building materials from our branch to our local customers in a safe and professional manner. Loading the vehicle in the yard using the HIAB, it’ll be your responsibility to ensure the vehicle is properly loaded, safe and in-line with road and transport legislation. Our drivers are the face of the business and will demonstrate professionalism whilst on the road and with our customers at all times. It’s likely that you’ll perform around 14 drops a day, regularly returning back to branch to reload your vehicle. Am I right for the job? You will have a Class 2 driving license, up to date CPC records and 12 months+ driving experience. No HIAB? No problem! The branch will fully fund your HIAB training, ensuring you’re qualified and comfortable operating vehicle-mounted cranes. You’ll be confident in dealing with our customers, building new relationships and developing existing ones. You will be safety focused, ensuring work is completed in a safe and professional manner. Our drivers are passionate about what we do and delivering for our customers, we want like-minded drivers to join our team with the same mindset and ambition.
