Key Accountabilities and Measures
- Be supported with a 6-week induction, support from in-house driver training teams, SAFED and ongoing CPC. Your Driver CPC training is in work hours too, not outside of them.
- You’ll work set contracted hours and have stable shift patterns on a weekly rotating basis, all of which will hopefully help you to plan your life around work more easily.

- As you won’t only be delivering to our own depots, but also customer RDC’s, you’ll provide a quality service, that develops strong relationships, exceeds their expectations and on occasion be able to manage confrontation in a calm and professional manner, as well as acting as an ambassador for our brand with everyone, while living our values.
