Skip Driver (Class 2) – Full Time, Permanent

Based at our Transport Depot, Crompton Road, Ilkeston, DE7 4BG
Competitive pay + overtime + quarterly bonus

Full-time | Monday to Friday | Approx. 55 hours per week

We have 5 vacancies available – apply now and join our award-winning driving team.

Are you a Class 2 driver with experience in Waste and Recycling? Even if you’ve never driven a skip wagon before — we’ll train you.

WARD is recruiting Skip Drivers to join our growing fleet at our Ilkeston depot. Thanks to our dedicated in-house Driver Trainer, we offer full hands-on training for drivers with related experience who are keen to learn. If you’ve got the right licence and a great attitude, we’ll help you develop the rest.

You’ll be part of a team of over 100 professional drivers helping us lead the way in environmental sustainability. We’re proud to be a FORS Gold accredited operator and invest heavily in training, safety, and driver development.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll play a key role in our transport operation – collecting materials from customer sites and returning them to our processing centres, where waste and metal are transformed into reusable materials.

Your responsibilities will include:

Operating Class 2 skip wagons (training provided if needed)
Communicating with planners and following daily collection schedules
Building strong relationships with customers on-site
Carrying out daily vehicle checks and reporting defects
Adhering to all Safe Operating Procedures and road regulations
Maintaining your vehicle and completing associated paperwork

What You’ll Need

A valid LGV Cat C (Class 2) licence

CPC card and Digital Tachograph card
Good UK geographical knowledge
Experience in skip driving is ideal – but if you’ve got other Class 2 experience already, we’ll train you
A professional, safety-first approach and strong work ethic

Speed-Up Your Driving Career with Ward

Once you’re established in the role and have gained the necessary skills, you’ll have the opportunity to cross-train across other vehicle types in our fleet – such as RoRo, Artics, or Tippers.

We also offer company-sponsored Class 1 licence upgrades through our ‘Wards Wheels’ driver develop programme, for drivers who want to take their career to the next level and increase their future earning potential. If you want to progress, we’re here to help make it happen.

What’s in It for You?

Full-time, permanent role with approx. 55 hours per week

Enhanced overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per week
Achievable quarterly bonus, based on safe and efficient driving
Access to Re-WARD Benefits, which include:

▪ Life insurance
▪ Employee Assistance Programme
▪ Cycle to Work Scheme
▪ Free flu jabs
▪ And much more…

Paid CPC training and regular development opportunities
£500 Refer-a-Friend bonus – recommend great drivers and get rewarded
Increasing annual leave entitlement with length of service
Company pension
Modern fleet of well-maintained vehicles
Join a FORS Gold accredited transport operation

WARD is one of the UK’s largest independent metal and waste recycling specialists, with over 400 employees and an annual turnover exceeding £300 million. We are a family-run business with a strong sense of purpose – transforming waste into resources and helping businesses meet their sustainability goals.

We’re a people-focused organisation that values loyalty, development and long-term careers. When you join Ward, you’re joining a company that genuinely cares – about the environment, the future, and you.

Interested but haven’t driven skips before? If you’ve got the licence and the right attitude, we’ll train you. Apply now and take the next step with Ward.
