Salary: £53,044.92 per annum (Salaried)
Shift Pattern: 4-on / 4-off (Rotating: 4 Nights 18:00 to 06:00, 4 Days 06:00 to 18:00)
About the Company
We are one of the UK's leading and most resilient food production companies, responsible for manufacturing and distributing some of the nation's most iconic, household-favourite food brands. Originally founded nearly a century ago, we have evolved from a traditional bakery business into a highly automated, 24/7 food manufacturing giant.
Our West Bromwich site is a high-volume hub that operates around the clock to meet demanding nationwide delivery schedules. Because our logistics operation is critical to our success, we manage our distribution completely in-house. We run our own dedicated, fully equipped vehicle maintenance workshop on-site to ensure our delivery fleet never skips a beat.
The Fleet You'll Work On
We invest heavily in our logistics infrastructure, ensuring our engineering team works on modern, reliable assets. Our dedicated West Bromwich fleet includes:
- Modern Generation Tractor Units & Rigids: A highly standardized fleet of brand-new 18-tonne rigid trucks and high-spec 6x2 tractor units primarily from leading manufacturers like DAF.
- Specialized Trailer Fleet: A large inventory of high-capacity double-deck trailers and modern tri-axle box vans.
- Advanced Technology: The workshop is equipped with the latest main-dealer level diagnostic software, and we are continuously trailing new fleet management tech and alternative-fuel vehicles.
