The position pays £23 per hour and is full-time, with a start date of 20th August. The initial contract lasts two weeks, with potential extension if work remains available. Shifts begin early, and the pattern offers no weekend work, allowing for a better work-life balance. Daily duties include completing multiple drops, navigating local routes, and safely managing the crane for loading and unloading.

Let's cut through the usual recruitment waffle...
You're not scrolling job adverts wondering about our "fast-paced dynamic environment."
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

You're Thinking

🤔 Is this going to be a nightmare job?
Fair questions.
Here's The Reality...
We're looking for a Class 2 HIAB Driver to cover some holiday leave for a long-standing client in Towcester.
It's starting on 20th August for at least 2 weeks, and if everyone gets on and the work is still there, it could continue beyond that.
What Your Day Will Look Like
- Start at 07:30
- Finish around 17:00
- 45-minute PAID break (not one of those mythical breaks people talk about but never actually get)
- Monday to Friday
- No weekends
- No Sunday afternoon call asking if you can "just help out"
The Work
- Typically 2-3 runs a day
- Around 1-4 drops per loa
- Delivering to building sites, builders' merchants and residential customers
- Operating the HIAB safely and professionally
In other words, we're not expecting you to squeeze 47 drops into a day while battling three road closures, two diversions and a sat nav having a nervous breakdown.
