Join Rapier as a Class 1 (C+E) Driver in Stanford-le-Hope (SS17), supporting a major logistics operation at the heart of Essex’s transport network.

- Carry out daily vehicle checks and report defects in line with compliance requirements
- Operate in accordance with drivers’ hours, tachograph rules, and company procedures
- Manage paperwork and digital PODs accurately and efficiently
- Maintain high standards of road safety, customer service, and professionalism on site

What You'll Need
- Valid UK Class 1 (C+E) licence with Driver CPC and Digital Tachograph Card
- Strong knowledge of WTD and drivers’ hours, with a safety-first approach
- Reliable attendance and the ability to work ongoing shifts, including overtime when available
- Previous trunking or logistics experience is beneficial, but not essential for the right attitude
