Be part of the movement – and play your part.

Working Monday to Friday, you’ll be responsible for delivering goods safely and efficiently to customer premises. This is a customer-facing role, so professionalism and presentation are key. Most of the time, you’ll be driving an EV vehicle, but you may also operate standard HGV trucks when required.

• Driving Class 1 vehicles on scheduled routes
• Physically unloading goods to the back door of trailers
• Providing excellent customer service at delivery points
• Completing daily vehicle checks and reporting any issues
• Monitoring EV systems when applicable
• Handling delivery paperwork accurately
• Following all road transport and tachograph regulations

You’ll need a valid Class 1 licence, Driver CPC, and DIGI card. Experience with customer-facing deliveries is essential, along with a smart, professional appearance and a positive attitude. If you’re reliable, safety-conscious, and ready to embrace EV technology, you’ll fit right in.

Join the movement and grow with us. We’ll support you on your journey and create the conditions that make it worthwhile. We’ll encourage you to challenge yourself, to acquire new skills and attributes. We want you to develop and progress within your career.
