Position Type
Full-time, Permanent
Are you an experienced HGV1 driver with a passion for mentoring and safety?
We are looking for a highly skilled LGV Driver Trainer to join our dedicated team based at our Trafford Park, Manchester depot. In this vital role, you will work closely with the Driver Administrator to deliver exceptional driver training and play a key part in fulfilling our commitment to Driver CPC under our JAUPT-approved training scheme.
The role demands flexibility to coordinate seamlessly with driver workloads. You will deliver both one-on-one "on the road" coaching and interactive, classroom-based courses for larger groups.
Key Responsibilities
- On-the-Road Assessments: Assess drivers and provide practical, in-cab instruction to ensure the continuous adoption of best practices.
- Core Skills Coaching: Train drivers in defensive driving techniques, fuel economy optimization, and the correct, safe use of vehicles and trailers.
- Classroom Delivery: Plan and deliver engaging classroom-based courses for larger groups, specifically focusing on our JAUPT-approved Driver CPC curriculum.
- Compliance & Reporting: Complete detailed, confidential electronic training reports.
- Operational Knowledge: Utilize your working knowledge of container transport and distribution operations to deliver highly relevant, industry-specific training.
