Overview
At Solus, all roles are critical in delivering quality repairs for our customers and keeping our workshops moving. As we continue to invest in our future and strengthen our operational capability, we’re looking for a HGV Class C driver. This role is ideal for someone who understands the pace and pressure of an accident repair environment and takes pride in organisation, accuracy, and supporting members of the wider team.
Responsibilities
What you’ll be doing
Our HGV drivers are kept busy in this role to get our customers back on the road quickly. We’d love you to bring your previous experience to this role.
As a HGV Class C Driver, you will:
- Collect and deliver vehicles before and after repair, working to deadlines to meet our customers’ needs.
- Ensure vehicles are collected and delivered in the agreed timescales, guaranteeing the best possible service.
- Process cash and credit card transactions accurately, adhering to company financial procedures.
Key Duties

- Identify and report defects during vehicle loading/unloading or at handover to the Production Manager.
- Track and file all completed jobs by referencing them appropriately.
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.
You will report to the Transport Controller and work closely with a team of other drivers.
