Rigid Driver

A well‑established FMCG logistics company based in Dublin North is seeking a committed and professional Rigid Driver to join their growing team. This role offers long‑term stability, excellent career potential and flexibility through an agreed shift pattern that supports both the driver and operational requirements.

This position is ideal for individuals who enjoy starting early and having afternoons free. Start times range between 05:30am – 06:30am, with your truck pre‑loaded and ready for the day’s route. You will complete up to 15 multi‑drop deliveries per day, ensuring each delivery is carried out safely, accurately and recorded using a handheld scanning device. Daily safety checks take approximately 30 minutes. Once your route is complete, there is no requirement to return for additional runs, regardless of finishing time.

For those who prefer a later start, this can be accommodated; however, it will naturally result in a later finish. The weekly schedule is based on a 5‑days‑out‑of‑7 rota, which may include working every second weekend.

Newly licensed rigid drivers are welcome, although previous multi‑drop experience is desirable. All applicants must hold a Full Valid Category C licence, a current CPC card, and a digital tachograph card. Confidence driving on the left-hand side of the road and relevant experience are essential.

Successful candidates will undergo a comprehensive two‑week onboarding program, including shadowing an experienced driver to gain customer service insight, handheld device training and route familiarisation. A driving assessment and medical screening will also form part of the process.

This role suits professional, organised individuals who take pride in their work and enjoy representing a well‑known brand as the face of the company on the road.

Responsibilities:

• Complete 10–15 multi‑drop deliveries per day
• Ensure your vehicle is well‑maintained and that safe driving procedures are followed
• Uphold high standards of customer service
• Report any accidents, near‑misses, or issues to the Transport team
• Complete driving logs, tachograph records, and required company documentation

Requirements:

• Full, valid Category C licence
• CPC cert and Tachograph card
• Capability to complete a Health Screen
• Ability to drive on the left‑hand side of the road
• Ability to complete a driving assessment
• Start work at 05:30am each day
