Get behind the wheel and accelerate your driving career with Copart’s Driver Academy.
Are you looking for a career as an HGV Driver, but only have a licence to drive cars and vans? Then look no further, as we can make this a reality for you.
If you are looking for an interesting career rather than your average HGV Driver role, then we might have just what you are looking for, working from our Operation Centre in Rochford, SS4 1NB.
Not only do we offer a varied role that includes the loading and unloading of vehicles, we're able to offer Monday to Friday daytime work, with occasional optional Saturday work.
Copart UK Limited has partnered with the UK’s largest HGV training provider to use their wide-ranging expertise to deliver a specialist program that focuses on identifying, mentoring and coaching driving talent and provides a clear pathway to becoming an HGV Driver.
Does the opportunity to learn and earn appeal to you? You will have a guaranteed income in your role as Yard Operative whilst Copart invests in your future by funding your theory and practical driving qualifications, subject to signing a training agreement with Copart. Once training is completed, which is expected to take between 2-4 months, you can anticipate earning around £45k a year and more.
