driver Godalming, England
Job description
Before we start describing our job vacancy we would like to say we are sorry, We wont be offering you a signing on bonus, We believe in better pay all year round not gimmicks, We shall not be offering inflated wage adverts just to get you interested or daft bonus schemes which you can rarely meet. We will however be 100% honest with you over the job description and earnings
We are a small family firm from Suffolk with a small friendly group of drivers based in Godalming Surrey. We are a FORS gold and CLOCs compliant company and our client is a market leader in the sale of specialist construction materials. Your role will be delivering multi drop between 8 to 12 drops a day to various construction sites around London, South coast and surrounding areas
We are looking for a talented individual with the correct licence category, drivers qualification card and digicard to join our highly skilled team, this isn’t a job for everyone, This is a job for someone who likes to stay active and enjoys exercise and getting stuck in. We would like someone who can do their job responsibly and professionally but also enjoy a smile even with challenges of daily driving that can entail.
The job also does include paperwork, keeping up to date with training courses and tool box talks which come with being the highly skilled professional driver that you are.
The truck is a flatbed rigid, not new but well looked after with a fleet replacement plan in place as soon as allowed. Load security is ratchet and straps hopefully you have used these before but full training will be given if not.
The hours are Monday to Friday which generally starts between 6am and 7am and generally finish by 4 to 5 some days longer, some days shorter depending on traffic etc etc. 8 hour Days ? yes, sometimes but we would rather tell you the worse case scenario than dress it up with tinsel and make out you’ll be home by lunchtime.
This position is day work but if you in the unlikely event ever got caught short due to traffic, accidents etc etc we would put you up in a hotel for the evening.
Weekend work is available when required which is paid hourly overtime on top of your salary but if you never want to work a weekend you don’t have to, it’s voluntary its up to you.(spend time with your family)
The position is salary based the starting salary is £32,000 per annum, paid weekly. I must emphasise it is STARTING at £32,000
We train you and see how you go if you are a good of driver as you know you are, the money goes up after training we reward you on your own merits (why would you want to earn the same money as someone else who maybe not working as hard as you) some drivers have three or four rises in a year, All our drivers are earning a lot more than the starting salary.
I hope we have given you a brief description of the vacancy. there is a lot more about holiday health benefits etc etc which can be gone into over a chat , we are confident enough we have told you as accurately as possible (you could even have a chat with one of our drivers about the job if needed) so if you would like to hear more come in for a chat and a hobnob, we would love to meet you.
