Class 2 Driver. Cat C Driver​/Engineer

HGV Class 2 Driver (Driver / Engineer) – Bracknell

Do you think you can do more than just drive a lorry and deliver boxes? Then why not learn to be a Driver / Engineer! Full training is given.

Brief temp-to-perm period, after which you would be offered a permanent contract.

Driver Hire is recruiting to fill a varied and interesting role for a Cat C driver. You will be working for an IT service company that specialises in relocating servers and racking from data centres for major online retailers. You will be taught basic engineering to demount the equipment, pack it safely in boxes, dismantle the racking and then load it onto your Cat C lorry.

The equipment will then be relocated and set up again in a new data centre or placed in storage until needed.

The ideal candidate will have an eye for detail, an appetite for learning new skills and strong communication and customer‑service skills. Most days you will be supported by a driver’s mate. You need to be physically fit because there is some hand‑balling involved and the use of pump trucks to move pallets of racking. You will already have an HGV Class 2 licence and experience.

The team is professional and friendly, and this is an exciting opportunity to join an expanding business. The client’s head office is in Farnborough, but you will generally work from the depot in Bracknell. A very competitive salary is offered depending on experience, with overtime available.
