Job Overview
Looking for more than just a driving job? Looking for a hands-on, high-impact role where every day is different? We’re hiring a HGV Driver that isn't afraid to get stuck in on the additional hands on tasks! If you have experience in HGV Class 1 and groundworks or remediation and a knack for problem-solving, we want you on board. This is far more than a standard HGV driving role. You’ll be part of a specialist operational team delivering environmental services, emergency spill response, industrial cleaning, drainage works, and remediation projects both local and across the UK. If you enjoy practical work, problem solving, working outdoors, and being part of a close-knit team that responds when it matters most, this could be the role for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Operating company vehicles including HGV Class 1 and specialist equipment
- Carrying out high-pressure water jetting, drain and interceptor cleaning works
- Supporting environmental spill response operations, including oil, fuel, and chemical incidents
- Assisting with tank uplifts, industrial cleaning, forecourt PPM works, and remediation projects
- Operating pumps, vacuums, hoses, and associated environmental response equipment
- Working alongside experienced multi-skilled operatives on major projects and reactive works
- Completing vehicle checks, site paperwork, and safety documentation
- Supporting emergency response call-outs as part of the on-call rota
