Class 2 HGV Driver

We are recruiting on behalf of our client in Northampton for a permanent HGV Class 2 Driver to join their growing team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a professional driver looking for stable, weekday work with excellent benefits and full Moffett training provided.
The Role
You will be delivering palletised goods (mainly to construction and drylining sites) using a curtainsider vehicle. The role offers a great balance of driving and customer interaction, with minimal manual handling.
