About this role
Class 2/CAT C Drivers Wanted - Gatwick Airport Waste & Recycling Contract
The Best Connection has an exciting opportunity for
Class 2/CAT C Drivers Days and Nights to join a busy operation based at Gatwick Airport.
Unlike typical HGV work, this role stays entirely on-site - you won't be covering long distances. Instead, you'll move between terminals and operational zones around the airport, picking up commercial waste and recycling, then delivering it to the on-site recycling centre. Expect a role that combines driving with genuine physical activity - it's far more hands-on than a standard driving job.
