Class 2 HGV Driver
Location: Grimsargh, Preston
Pay: £18.00 per hour
Start: ASAP
Contract: Temporary with the opportunity to go permanent
HIAB training provided
We are currently recruiting on behalf of an established construction business based in Grimsargh, Preston, who are looking for an experienced Class 2 HGV Driver to join their team.
This is an excellent temp-to-perm opportunity for a reliable Class 2 driver looking for a varied role within the construction sector.

The Role
Working from the company’s base in Grimsargh, you will be responsible for transporting plant, equipment, construction materials and site accommodation to and from construction sites across the North West.
Your Duties Will Mainly Include
- Driving a Class 2 HGV to sites throughout the North West
- Delivery and collection of plant and construction equipment
- Delivery, collection and positioning of site cabins/accommodation
- Delivery and collection of scaffolding, site fencing, materials and components
- Loading and unloading the vehicle safely
- Carrying out lifting operations once HIAB trained
- Ensuring loads are secured correctly and transported safely
- Completing deliveries and collections within required timescales
- Assisting with loading and general yard duties when required
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Please note: While this is primarily a Class 2 driving role, during quieter periods you will be expected to assist with general labouring and yard duties. This may include cutting grass, tidying and maintaining work areas, cleaning, general housekeeping and carrying out other reasonable tasks around the yard as required. Candidates should therefore be happy to take a hands-on and flexible approach to the role.
What We’re Looking For
To Be Considered, You Will Need
- Valid Class 2 (Category C) HGV licence
- Minimum 12 months’ Class 2 driving experience
- Valid Driver CPC
- Valid Digital Tachograph Card
- Good knowledge of the North West
- A good understanding of HGV operations and road haulage regulations
- A strong approach to health and safety
- Confidence with loading/unloading and securing loads
- Good communication and problem-solving skills
- Willingness to undertake general labouring/yard duties during quieter periods
- A reliable, flexible and hands-on approach to work

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
HIAB experience is NOT essential – full training will be provided for the right driver.
All Terrain Forklift or Telehandler licences would also be advantageous, but are not essential.
What’s on Offer?

- Genuine temp-to-perm opportunity
- HIAB/Lorry Loader training provided
- Varied driving work
- Opportunity to join an established construction business on a permanent basis
This role would suit an experienced Class 2 driver who is looking for a long-term opportunity, is happy to undertake HIAB training and doesn’t mind getting stuck into general yard duties when driving work is quieter.
