Driver Hire are currently recruiting for an experienced Class 2 Refuse Collection Driver to join our client’s waste and refuse collection operation.

This is a great opportunity for a reliable LGV Class 2 / HGV Class 2 driver looking for regular work in the waste management and refuse collection sector.

The Role

As a Class 2 Refuse Collection Driver, you will be responsible for driving a refuse collection vehicle and working as part of a team to complete scheduled waste and recycling collections.

Your duties will include:

• Driving a Class 2 refuse collection vehicle safely and responsibly
• Carrying out household or commercial waste collections
• Operating the vehicle and refuse collection equipment safely
• Working closely with loaders and other members of the collection team
• Following designated collection routes and schedules
• Completing daily vehicle checks and reporting any defects
• Ensuring waste is collected safely and efficiently
• Maintaining a professional approach when working in public areas

The role involves both driving and manual work, so you should be comfortable working outdoors and assisting with refuse collections when required.

Requirements

To be considered for this Class 2 Driver position, you will need:

• A valid Class 2 (Category C) driving licence
• A valid CPC qualification
• A valid Digital Tachograph Card
• Previous HGV / LGV Class 2 driving experience
• A good understanding of road safety and vehicle checks
• A reliable and responsible approach to work
• The ability to work as part of a team
• Good communication skills

Previous refuse, waste collection or environmental services experience would be an advantage, but is not essential for the right Class 2 driver.
