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.
