Location: Cumbernauld and surrounding areas Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm (flexibility required) Contract: Permanent, Full Time
Overview Are you an experienced 7.5‑tonne Driver looking for a stable, hands‑on role with a market‑leading traffic management business? SRL is at the forefront of intelligent transport solutions, supplying temporary traffic systems such as portable traffic signals, message boards, and traffic cameras. We’re committed to creating safer, smarter and more sustainable roads across the UK — and we’re looking for a reliable driver to help keep our operations moving.
About the Role As a 7.5 Tonne Driver, you’ll play a key role in supporting depot and site operations, transporting, delivering and collecting temporary traffic management equipment using the largest vehicles in our fleet.
This is a physically active, hands‑on role that combines professional HGV driving with equipment checks, maintenance support and depot housekeeping. You will act as the lead HGV driver at the depot, working closely with other depot teams to ensure equipment is delivered safely, on time and in full working order.
You’ll normally work Monday to Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm, though flexibility is essential as hours may vary occasionally, and overtime may be available.
