Rigid Driver
Exciting opportunity for an experienced and dependable rigid driver to join a fast-paced logistics operation offering consistent hours, early starts, and an early finish to your day. This role is ideal for drivers who value structure, reliability and a clearly laid-out delivery schedule that ensures efficient routing with no surprises.
Working Monday to Friday as standard, this role includes the expectation to be rostered every second weekend or on a five days over seven pattern with two guaranteed rest days per week. Start times typically begin around 5:30 AM, giving you a head start on the day. Your truck will be pre-loaded for convenience and you’ll spend the first 30 minutes each morning reviewing and organising your clearly numbered deliveries as outlined on your manifest. You will make between 8 to 15 drops per day, depending on your route.
Once your delivery route is completed and you return to the depot, your day is done—there are no secondary runs or unexpected additions to your schedule. On occasion, a helper may be assigned to your route depending on delivery volume or complexity, but the focus remains on efficiency and punctuality. This “early in, early out” approach supports work-life balance and provides the opportunity for consistency and structure.
Responsibilities:
- Carry out daily rigid vehicle deliveries to commercial and retail customers across assigned routes
- Complete between 8 to 15 deliveries per shift based on the manifest
- Accurately review and organise deliveries before departure each morning
- Maintain a high standard of customer service throughout all interactions
- Ensure compliance with driving and safety regulations at all times
- Manage delivery paperwork and documentation with accuracy
- Return to depot upon route completion with no additional delivery runs
- Adhere to health and safety procedures and vehicle checks
Requirements:
- Full valid rigid EU C driving licence
- Up to date EU CPC’s & Tachograph Card
- Proven driving experience with rigid trucks
- Strong time management and route planning skills
- Must pass a company driving assessment and complete a health screening questionnaire
- Flexibility to work weekends on a rota basis
- Good communication and organisational skills
- Commitment to punctuality and professionalism
- Comfortable with early morning starts and independently managing delivery loads
