Summary
HGV Class 1 Night Driver – Fresh Produce Distribution | Temp to Perm |
Description
Millison Chase Limited is recruiting 6 experienced HGV Class 1 (C+E) Night Drivers on behalf of our client based in Evesham for an exciting temp-to-permanent opportunity.
If you're looking for a long-term driving career rather than just another driving job, this could be exactly what you're looking for. Our client is a well-established fresh produce logistics specialist, collecting produce directly from growers and packhouses before delivering to Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs), National Distribution Centres (NDCs) and Customer Distribution Centres (CDCs) for the UK's major supermarket chains, including the Big 4, as well as several leading independent retailers.
You'll be driving modern articulated refrigerated vehicles, transporting temperature-controlled palletised and caged fresh produce. Deliveries are almost exclusively loading bay work, meaning very little physical work is required, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best—professional driving.
Night shifts normally start between 3:00pm and 8:00pm, with shift lengths averaging 10 to 12 hours. Drivers can choose between a 4-night or 5-night working pattern, and our client genuinely works with drivers to achieve a healthy work-life balance wherever operationally possible.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected transport company offering stable employment, modern vehicles, and a supportive transport team.
