Driver Newcastle & Sunderland are currently recruiting a class 2 mixer driver for an immediate start at their national client based in Gateshead.
This is an excellent opportunity for ongoing work lasting until at least the end of October with the view of the contract potentially being extended.
- Experience with operating a LGV2 cement mixers would be advantageous but not essential.
- A full 2 weeks training will be provided to ensure the candidate is comfortable within the role and is able to operate the controls with confidence.
- Due to the nature of the role, the successful candidate will need to be physically fit as manual handling will for a big part of the job.
- When arriving at the delivery destinations, fresh cement will be offloaded into cement tubs on site, but it’s vital that old cured cement is removed from the tubs prior to unloading.
- The driver will also need to install an extension shoot to the rear of the vehicle to support the cement run off.
