Hours: Flexible

The Role
We are looking for a reliable and flexible person who is happy to drive a 3.5 tonne flatbed vehicle for a specialist engineering company based in Bridgwater. This is not full time hours, it is adhoc
This is a genuinely flexible, ongoing opportunity that could suit someone looking for regular part-time work, someone retired who wants to keep busy, or anyone looking to supplement their income or pension. This job IS NOT full time hours
The role involves delivering engineering equipment and materials to customers and site works across the UK as and when the need arises. Trips can vary considerably – you could be making a short local delivery one day, not working for a couple of days then undertaking a full-day UK delivery the next. There is no requirement for fixed full-time hours

Key Responsibilities
Driving a 3.5 tonne flatbed vehicle safely and responsibly.
Delivering engineering equipment, materials and components to customers and site works throughout the UK.
Loading and securing loads safely and checking that items are appropriately secured before travelling. Help will be available
Completing delivery paperwork and obtaining customer signatures where required.
Representing the company professionally when dealing with customers and site personnel.
Carrying out basic vehicle checks and reporting any issues.
Keeping the vehicle clean, tidy and in good condition.
Supporting the engineering/factory team with other practical duties if additional hours are required.
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
A reliable and responsible driver.
Comfortable driving a 3.5 tonne flatbed vehicle.
Flexible regarding working days and hours.
Customer-focused and professional.
Physically capable of handling engineering items and securing loads. Support will be available in most cases
Happy working independently and travelling to different locations.
Ideally experienced in delivery driving, transport or engineering environments, although relevant experience will be considered.
A full UK driving licence suitable for driving a 3.5 tonne vehicle is essential.
Why Join Us?
£14.00 per hour
Ongoing ad hoc work rather than a one-off position.
A mixture of local and UK-wide deliveries.
Short trips or full-day journeys depending on requirements.
Opportunity to work additional hours in the factory if you want them.
Friendly specialist engineering environment.
Ideal opportunity for someone retired, semi-retired or looking to top up their pension or income.
This is a lovely opportunity for the right person who enjoys driving, meeting people and having flexibility.
If you're looking for flexible, ongoing driving work rather than a traditional full-time driving role, we'd be very interested in hearing from you.
