About this role

Your new company

You will be joining a growing commercial waste organisation based in Edinburgh who are looking to add multiple class 2 HGV drivers to their driver pool to work on skip and RORO lorries. They have secured multiple long-term contracts in the central belt.

Your new role

Your duties may include

  • Operating Class 2 skip lorries safely and efficiently, collecting and delivering skips to commercial and construction sites.
  • Conduct daily vehicle inspections and routine safety checks, ensuring compliance with DVLA regulations and company standards.
  • Load, secure and transport skips containing waste materials while adhering to health and safety procedures.
  • Plan and manage delivery routes effectively to meet customer schedules and maximise productivity.
  • Maintain excellent customer service by liaising with clients on-site, resolving queries, and ensuring timely skip collection and exchange.

What you'll need to succeed

You will need to be able to provide a valid and up-to-date Class 2 licence with minimal points and endorsements. The shifts will start early and there will be regular overtime during the week and at weekends, paid at an enhanced rate. We will consider drivers at all levels of experience.

What you'll get in return

You will be offered an immediate start with a high chance of moving over to a permanent role for the right candidate. Hays will pay you weekly, and you will receive regular updates from your Hays consultant.
