We operate a fleet of 92 vehicles comprising a bespoke HGV designed to meet the requirements of an MoD contract to provide the Heavy Equipment Transport (HET) service.

Where you’ll work:

  • You may be trained as Emergency Fire Crew operators including “Blue Light” driving. This attracts a premium payment.
  • Operators can expect to be deployed on Operations in military uniform for which salary is uplifted by 50%.
