Key requirements:

HGV class 2 licence and experience in waster operations

Ideally a qualified driving assessor

Previous experience in a training/coaching role, or significant experience as a driver within waste management or another service industry

Category C (or above) driving license, with experience driving a range of vehicle types

Experience developing and maintaining training matrices and competency records in a fleet, waste, highways or local authority environment.

Good working knowledge of DVSA guidance, Operator License compliance, and core Health & Safety legislation as it applies to waste and fleet operations.

NEBOSH National General Certificate (or equivalent), or IOSH membership/working towards it — the practical floor for anyone owning a compliance matrix, ensuring credibility with HSE and DVSA auditors

Excellent coaching, communication and influencing skills — needed both to correct behaviour on the ground and to chase compliance across multiple teams and providers

Key responsibilities

Responsible for the operational training and competency assurance across Waste Services and the wider WSU workforce (drivers, loaders, street cleansing operatives and other frontline staff)

Build and maintain a single, accurate training and competency matrix and ensure every operational employee's training remains valid and up to date

Provide a hands-on, coaching-led approach to frontline driver standards; includes spending time on the yard and on the road with crews, not just behind a spreadsheet

Where subject-specific expertise is needed (e.g. specialist plant training), delivery may be arranged through qualified internal colleagues or external providers, but day-to-day driver coaching, behavioural correction, and gate/route compliance checks are core, active parts of this role
