Depots in Farnborough and Bracknell. Must be able to work from either.
Driver Hire has a wonderful opportunity for a Cat C Driver (HGV Class2 driver). It is a varied role encompassing both driving and basic engineering. Full training will be given.
You would be working for a specialist in IT relocation. Picture yourself assisting a data centre moving all its computers and racking from one location to another. You would be involved in taking the racking apart, loading it onto your HGV. Packing up a series of computer servers and loading onto your vehicle. Then delivering it all to a new address.
Generally working with a single support driver, or even a small team.
You need to be physically fit because there is some hand-balling involved and the use of pump trucks to move pallets of racking.
The ideal candidate does not need previous computer experience, but must have at least 3 months HGV driving experience. You will have an eye for detail, an appetite for learning new skills and will have strong communication and customer service skills.
They are a professional, friendly team and this is a really exciting opportunity to join an expanding business. There is overtime available if you would like it. Our client’s head office is in Farnborough and sometimes you will working from here. But mostly you will be working from the depot in Bracknell.
