This Drivers Mate role involves delivering large goods to residential properties. The type of goods you will be delivering includes flat pack furniture, gym equipment, white goods and other bulky household items.
Due to the weight of the products you will be delivering, you must be physically fit and capable of carrying heavy items safely.

You will also be trained to become a 'Banksman', ensuring that you are outside the lorry at all times when it is reversing to guide the driver and ensure the manoeuvre is completed safely. Full training will be provided.
Upon successful application, all new Drivers Mates are required to attend a mandatory induction day before starting work.
You must be able to reliably commute to the Faverdale area.
Please note that drug tests may be carried out at any time at the client's discretion. A drug test will also be completed during the induction process.
