Class 1 Driver

About This Role

Are you a Class 1 Driver, HGV Driver, or LGV Driver looking for your next move, or an experienced driver ready for a new challenge? As a Class 1 Driver within our Truck and Trailer Unit, you will play a key role in keeping our rental operation moving, supporting customers and internal teams with safe, efficient vehicle movements.

Delivering and collecting vehicles between customer sites, branches, and workshops. Presenting vehicles for MOT and ensuring they meet compliance standards. Carrying out daily vehicle checks and reporting any defects promptly. Safely parking and securing equipment in line with company policy. Supporting with additional duties such as vehicle cleaning and site support tasks.

About You

You are a dependable and professional driver who takes pride in doing things the right way, with safety and customer service at the forefront. You are comfortable working flexibly, handling a mix of journeys and responsibilities while maintaining a positive attitude.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
