📅 Immediate Start Available

Driver Hire Edinburgh City are recruiting an experienced HGV Class 2 Driver for an ongoing shunting position with our client in Edinburgh.

This role would suit a driver looking for consistent work with a good work-life balance, involving short-distance driving and minimal manual handling.

🚚 The Role

You will be responsible for moving HGV vehicles between designated locations on site. This is primarily a driving position, with vehicles being loaded and unloaded for you. There will be some movement of cages involved as part of the loading and unloading process, but this will be minimal, with no heavy manual handling expected.

Your duties will include:

  • Shunting HGV vehicles between locations on site
  • Safely manoeuvring vehicles over short distances
  • Some movement of cages during loading and unloading
  • Working 12-hour shifts on a 4 on 4 off rota
  • Following all site safety procedures
  • Working alongside the wider site team
  • Carrying out basic vehicle checks when required
  • No long-distance driving involved
  • Limited manual handling required
  • Ongoing work available for the right candidate

💷 Pay & Hours

  • £14.75 per hour
  • 12-hour shifts
  • 4 days on / 4 days off
  • Immediate start available

✅ Requirements

  • Full HGV Class 2 (Category C) licence
  • At least 6 months’ HGV Class 2 driving experience
  • Minimum age of 24 due to insurance requirements
  • Maximum of 6 penalty points, with no more than 3 points for any single offence
  • No DD, DR, DG, CD or IN endorsements
  • Valid CPC and Digital Tachograph Card
  • Good knowledge of drivers’ hours and road safety
  • Reliable, punctual and professional approach
  • Good communication skills

🌟 Why Apply?

Looking for an HGV driving role that offers a bit more balance? This could be just what you’re looking for!

With a 4 on 4 off shift pattern, short-distance driving and no loading or unloading responsibilities, this is a great opportunity to secure ongoing work without the demands of a typical HGV driving position.
