Purpose
As a Logistics Relief Driver, you will be a vital asset within one of our six regions, stepping in to cover vacancies, holidays, training, and other absences among our branch lorry loader and tanker drivers. This dynamic role offers variety and will require flexibility, including nights away and weekend travel depending on the assignment. You will be instrumental in ensuring the seamless operation of our fleet, transporting modular structures and temporary storage & accommodation units using our fleet of over 70 lorry loader cranes. Additionally, you will contribute to our Tanker team, servicing our customers' welfare needs and ensuring continuous operational efficiency.
Although this is a relief role covering sickness and holiday, it comes with a guaranteed 45 hours’ pay per week.
What We Do
Algeco UK is the leader in modular accommodation not only in the UK but around the world. We provide more buildings for hire than anyone else, including modular buildings for sale and rent, and off-site permanent buildings for sale for temporary, semi-permanent and permanent use.
