Rigid Driver
Leading Global FMCG distribution company is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Rigid Driver to join their growing team. This is an excellent opportunity to build a long‑term driving career with a business recognised for its stability and modern flee. In this role, you’ll represent a well‑known household brand, enjoying the consistency, routine and daily satisfaction that comes with delivering quality products to customers across the region. To be considered, you must hold a Category C licence, along with valid, in‑date CPC and digital tachograph cards. The position operates on a 6‑over‑7 rota, which may include working every second weekend.
You will start your day at 05:30am, arriving to find your truck already pre‑loaded and ready to go, with 10–15 drops scheduled. After a quick pre‑drive safety check, you’ll hit the road and complete your deliveries safely, efficiently and professionally. Once your route is finished, your day is finished — no second runs, no unnecessary delays and no hanging around waiting for work.
Previous multi‑drop experience is an advantage but not essential. If you’re newly qualified and eager to kick‑start your driving career, this is a great place to get moving and build confidence. You’ll need a valid Category C licence, along with up‑to‑date CPC and digital tachograph cards.
You’ll take part in a comprehensive two‑week induction programme designed to build your confidence and set you up for success from day one. During this time, you’ll shadow an experienced Rigid Driver, learn the handheld system, and get familiar with the routes so you feel fully prepared and supported before heading out on your own.
Responsibilities:
- Complete up to 15 scheduled deliveries safely and efficiently while representing the brand to a high standard
- Carry out a full daily vehicle safety inspection before departure
- Handle all products with care ensuring accuracy and professionalism at every stage
- Drive responsibly and in full compliance with Road Safety Laws
- Deliver a friendly, reliable and customer focused service at every delivery point
- Use the handheld device to scan, record and confirm all deliveries accurately
Requirements:
- Full, valid Category C licence
- Up to date CPC and digital tachograph card
- Ability to successfully complete a company driving assessment
- Fit to complete a standard company health screening
- Reliable, organised and proactive with strong problem-solving skills
