HGV Driver


Drive safely. Deliver for customers. Be part of a team that pulls together.

We’re looking for an HGV Driver to join the team at our Kettering branch. This is a hands-on role in a busy builders’ merchant, where no two days are the same and everyone chips in to get the job done.

You’ll be out on the road delivering building materials to our customers, representing the branch with professionalism and care. Back at base, you’ll support the yard when needed – loading your own vehicle, helping the team, and keeping things moving. It’s a small team with a flexible approach, so being willing to muck in makes all the difference.

What you’ll be doing
 • Multi-drop deliveries of building materials
 • Loading and unloading safely, both at the branch and on-site
 • Providing a high level of customer service on every delivery
 • Supporting the yard team when required
 • Carrying out daily vehicle checks and working to H&S standards

What we’re looking for
 • Class 1 or Class 2 (Cat C / C+E) licence
 • HIAB licence (preferred)
 • Experience within a builders’ merchant environment
 • Forklift licence (advantageous)
 • Strong understanding of Health & Safety
 • A team player with a flexible, can-do attitude
 • Comfortable with physical work and manual handling

Hours
 7am–4.30pm Monday–Friday
 8am–12pm alternate Saturdays

What you’ll get
 • 22 days holiday + Bank Holidays
 • Discretionary bonus scheme

Join a branch where everyone mucks in, looks out for each other, and takes pride in doing the job properly. If you want a role where you’re trusted, valued, and part of a tight-knit team – apply today.
