About Our Opportunity:
Do you want the opportunity to spend quality time with your family whilst having a sustainable career as a Class 2 driver?
As a family-owned business, we know family is the most important thing in life. That’s why we offer sociable hours for our drivers and a healthy work-life balance. Even though we are a global business, we like to keep our drivers local. So, that means no long nights or weekends away, but you will be required to work the occasional Saturday morning shift as this may be required by one of our customers and here at EMR we aim to deliver maximum value for our customers.
This job isn’t a walk in the park; we don’t think any job is! We understand that this role is challenging. However, you will be rewarded for your hard work and dedication.
You will have the latest kit and up to date serviced vehicle with a very striking uniform, (highly visible for your safety of course), plus you will be rewarded with many of our benefits. One of the biggest benefits is knowing that you are truly making the world a better place to live for the next generation whilst building your sustainable career.
What You Will Be Doing:
Our Drivers are key members of our business and strategy. Without them, our business would come to a standstill, as how would we move our materials!
As part of your working day, you will be transporting material between EMR sites and customer sites. You’ll be a representative of our business on internal and external sites, being the kind of person who always likes to promote our values and treat customers the way you would like to be treated.
You’ll be driving hooklift & skiploader vehicles. If you have no experience in these vehicle types, or a similar industry, don’t worry, we would still like to hear from you. We offer comprehensive in-house training in all aspects of the role and appreciate that even the most skilful operator had to learn their trade at some point.
All this whilst you build a sustainable career working for an ethical employer.
About You:
So if you have the ability to communicate effectively with customers and co-workers, and provide a high level of customer services and you hold a valid Category C (Class 2) license, Then this will be the perfect role for you.
