Do you want to be a valued part of the critical infrastructure that serves communities across Europe and beyond? Are you looking for a position in which you can keep things moving and deliver when it matters most? If so, then you could be the newest addition to our team as a Class 1 Driver.

Be part of the movement - and play your part.

About the role

As a tramper, you'll be responsible for multi-drop deliveries over several days, ensuring that goods are delivered on time and in perfect condition.

You'll be driving well-maintained vehicles with state-of-the-art temperature-controlled trailers, working for a company that values its drivers and provides excellent support.

You will be responsible for:

• Safely drive Class 1 vehicles, delivering fresh and frozen products to distribution centres and stores.
• Operate refrigerated trailers and manage temperature controls.
• Complete multi-drop deliveries across various locations, ensuring accurate and timely deliveries.
• Conduct pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections, ensuring vehicles are in safe working condition.
• Maintain accurate logbooks and comply with all road safety regulations.

About you

Applicants must hold a Class 1 (C+E) licence with a minimum of 2 years of experience, alongside a valid CPC and DIGI Card. While experience in tramping and refrigerated deliveries is preferred, full training will be provided for the right candidate. The role involves extensive city driving, including in London and Birmingham, so you must be confident navigating a truck through busy urban areas. A solid understanding of UK driving regulations and road safety standards is essential, along with the ability to work independently and manage time efficiently. A positive attitude towards customer service is also key to success in this role.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
