Function: Distribution
Contract: Full time, Permanent
Hours: Working any 5 days over 7
Location: Bellshill
Salary: £1052.72 per week
Are you a Class 1 Trunker Driver at the top of your game?
Working alongside the Distribution Teams, you’ll drive in one of the most professional fleets in the country. Our vehicles have state-of-the-art telematics, sat nav and tracking systems. Our teams are dedicated to ensuring our depots and hubs are ready to deliver great quality and freshness to millions of people every day.
Join us and be proud to be heading in the right direction.
Essential Ingredients
To join the Warburtons family, you’ll need an LGV Cat C+E driving licence with no more than 6 points. You’ll also have a good knowledge of transport legislation and tachographs, be reliable, responsible and used to working in a trunking role.
The Recipe
- Be supported with an induction, support from in-house driver training teams, SAFED and ongoing CPC. Your Driver CPC training is in work hours too, not outside of them.
- You’ll work as a spare driver, on set contracted hours on a varied rota, with varied start times to support operational needs.
- Your basic vehicle maintenance knowledge, including accurately reporting faults on defect forms, and understanding of transport legislation will be key, for example Driver Hours, WTD and the Highway Code for a smooth and safe day.
- Enjoy plenty of freedom. As a driver, you’ll assist in the loading and unloading of your trailer. Working safely is a key priority for us, so you’ll be compliant with Health and Safety, quality, food safety and accident reporting procedures to support an accident-free workplace.
- As you won’t only be delivering to our own depots, but also customer RDCs, you’ll provide a quality service that develops strong relationships and exceeds expectations. On occasion, you may need to manage confrontation in a calm and professional manner while acting as an ambassador for our brand and living our values.
