Big wheels, Big Tech, Big opportunity!
At Ocado Logistics it’s our mission to change the way the world shops for groceries and it all starts with our HGV drivers. Using our state of the art fleet – some powered by natural gas for specific routes and fitted with extra safety technology - our drivers take to the road to deliver and collect products to and from a variety of locations across the UK.
Our larger warehouses (which we call CFC’s – Customer Fulfilment centres) are cutting edge, and vast (our largest is 573,000sq ft – that’s big enough to accommodate 7 Wembley football pitches!) and our HGV Drivers play a crucial role collecting shopping and distributing it across our smaller regional warehouse sites, for onward delivery to customers. We make a big point that we don’t offer multi drops so there’s no hidden lanes!
Our HGV Drivers are our unsung heroes and whilst most of us are sleeping they are distributing our products to ensure it's there as and when we need it. Overnight, late in the day and or early in the morning – even on weekends. You have the option to work 32 hours over 4 days or 40 hours over 5 days. Our routes are assigned up to 12.5 hours per day and as such you will regularly be expected to carry out additional hours as and when needed.
The available starting bands are:
- 23:00 - 03:00
Please note that these are your starting windows, not your contracted shift hours.
What do you get in return?
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.
In return, we pride ourselves on offering a safe working environment that goes without saying and perks and benefits that you can tailor to suit you and your lifestyle, including:
- Employer-funded private medical insurance after 12 months of service
- Paid Digital Tachograph card renewal
- Paid Driver Medical in line with licence requirements- through our approved supplier
- We will provide your ongoing periodic CPC training during your career
- Up to 7% matched pension contributions after three months of service
- High street shopping and restaurant discounts including 15% off Ocado.com
And if you suddenly decide being a driver isn’t for you, there’s also plenty of opportunity for progression, as 87% of our salaried roles are filled internally.
So what do we need from you?
Just bring yourself and a positive attitude (plus a category C+E driving licence) and our amazing training team will do the rest, although a minimum of 6 months driving experience is desirable, this is not essential! You must be a safe and competent driver and be flexible on your shift length on a daily basis.
