HGV Driver - 23643_223171000
Gloucestershire
Copart have a new Operation Centre in Gloucester and are recruiting HGV Drivers to join our team!
After an initial training period at our Operation Centre in Bristol, our HGV Drivers will be based from Gloucester. You'll be working from Monday to Friday, with no nights out or bank holiday working, so you'll benefit from a great work-life balance and have more time to yourself.
Copart is the global leader in online vehicle remarketing and recycling, working in partnership with many of the world's leading insurance companies, banks, automotive dealers, fleet and rental car companies.
We currently operate in more than 200 locations in 11 countries and have over 125,000 vehicles up for auction every day. We've seen large scale growth since we entered the UK market in 2007 and have exciting plans to continue this growth.
A Copart Driver loads, collects and delivers predominantly accident damaged vehicles of all shapes, sizes and conditions on our salvage transporters and therefore the role can be physically demanding. We work on behalf of our insurance and automotive customers, to service agreements.
They carry out internal and external checks on their trucks and equipment and report any defects, photograph any damage and carry out inspections of all collected and delivered vehicles.
Copart Drivers must comply with legal and company requirements of a professional driver and operate the vehicle and loading equipment in a safe and efficient manner, following all H&S policies and procedures.
No transporter experience? No problem - we'll provide you with everything you need!
