Role: Driving our customer's freight across Europe.
As a European transport provider Eurospecial goes anywhere the roads can take you. We take our customers goods from the UK to and from all European countries, and even between European countries.
This means our drivers are often out driving for up to a week at a time on long distance deliveries. On return to the UK the driver is then able to take a longer time off to recuperate.
Eurospecial sells itself on service. So our drivers must be well presented, polite, efficient and helpful.
Must Haves:
- UK or EU Driver's Licence with 6 points or less.
- Valid UK/EU Passport
- 1 year + of commercial driving experience.
- experience of safely stowing goods, and securing goods in a vehicle.
- Experience of long distance commercial driving
- An excellent work ethic.
- Ability to work well under pressure.
- A polite driving manner, taking a low-stress approach to driving.
Nice to have:
- Experience driving in Europe commercially
- Experience driving a variety of van types
- Any European Language skills
Remuneration and Benefits:
- Base salary of £18k/a with a minimum distance of 5000 miles per month driven (these are long-distance deliveries, so mileage is racked up quickly.)
- Bonus pay of 25p per mile after the first 5000 miles per month. (i.e. if 6000 miles driven in a single month pay will be +£250) It is expected that a 40 hour per week worker will easily cover 7500 miles per month - but more is available).
- Life insurance provided by the company for free after 6 months of service.
- 20 days paid holiday + all English bank holidays.
- Additional overtime available for working around Christmas and Easter.
- Advancement Opportunities onto bigger vehicles in the future.
