We are recruiting for 3 Light Vehicle Drivers to support a busy Waste Services team in Coventry with the rollout of a new food waste collection service.
This is a hands-on driving role involving the delivery of food waste bins and associated materials to residential properties across the city.
You'll be driving a light goods vehicle of up to 3.5 tonnes, so a standard full UK driving licence is required.
##
The Role
Your day-to-day duties will include:
Driving a 3.5-tonne light goods vehicle safely and responsibly
Delivering food waste bins and associated materials to residential addresses
Loading and unloading bins throughout the working day
Following planned delivery routes and schedules
Completing delivery records accurately
Carrying out daily vehicle checks and reporting any defects
Working to daily delivery targets
Dealing politely and professionally with members of the public
Following all relevant health and safety procedures
Supporting the wider Waste Services team when required
The wider Waste Services driver duties include responsibility for vehicle checks, safe operation, documentation and dealing appropriately with residents and members of the public.
## What We're Looking For
You must:
Hold a full UK driving licence suitable for driving a 3.5-tonne vehicle
Have a clean driving licence
Be aged 18 or over
Be physically fit and comfortable with regular manual handling
Be reliable and punctual
Be able to work independently and as part of a team
Have good communication and customer service skills
Be comfortable working outdoors and being active throughout the day
Previous delivery driving, logistics, waste or similar operational experience would be useful but isn't essential.
## Working Hours
Monday to Thursday: 7.5 hours per day
Friday: 7 hours
Total: 37 hours per week
30-minute unpaid break each day
This would suit someone who enjoys being out on the road rather than sitting behind a desk and doesn't mind a physically active working day.
