Full job description
Joining our friendly and hard working family as a HGV Driver Class 2, you’ll be on the front line dealing with our customers both in branch and off site (when making deliveries); playing a vital role in our continued success, providing a first class service whilst keeping colleagues and customers safe at all times.

What will I be doing?
No one day is the same as the next in TP branch life, but here are a few pointers:
Our success is built on strong relationships so it’s essential that you can help deliver the highest standards of service – the key thing is to be helpful and friendly, as you will likely get to know our customers on a first name basis.
Driving our transit and flatbed vehicles (up to 3.5ton) you will carry out multi‐drop deliveries from our branch direct to our local customers and be responsible for ensuring they receive their orders on time and in one piece, safely, every time.
Safety is at the forefront of everything we do, your aim will be to ensure that our standards never slip, by adhering to all stay safe policies and procedures especially whilst unloading, loading and driving our vehicles.
Want a work life balance – Our working hours are Monday to Friday between the hours of 07:30 – 17:00, every other Saturday 08:00 – 12:00.
What experience do you need?
You will need to be an experienced driver with a minimum Cat B licence (up to 3.5ton) held for at least 12 months.
