HGV Class 2 Driver – VAC EX Operator
Are you an experienced HGV Class 2 Driver looking for something different?
We are looking for reliable and hardworking Class 2 HGV Drivers to train as a VAC EX Operator.
THIS IS NOT A NORMAL HGV DRIVING JOB: Although you need a valid Class 2 licence, this role is not primarily a driving position.
The truck is used mainly as a means of transportation to and from site.
You will be trained to operate the specialist equipment.
So, if you're an HGV driver who wants to get away from spending your entire day behind the wheel and learn a specialist, hands-on skill, this could be the opportunity for you.
HGV Class 2 Driver – VAC EX Operator Hours:

  • 50 hours per week
  • Anything over that is overtime
  • Working hours depend on location

The Role
As a VAC EX Operator, your responsibilities will include:

  • Driving the VAC EX vehicle to and from site
  • Operating the power arm and vacuum excavation equipment
  • Carrying out work safely and efficiently
  • Operating specialist equipment on active construction and infrastructure sites
  • Carrying out daily vehicle and equipment checks
  • Following RAMS, site procedures and health & safety requirements
  • Working closely with site teams and customers
  • Looking after the vehicle and specialist equipment
  • Working outdoors in a variety of environments

What We're Looking For in a HGV Class 2 Driver – VAC EX Operator
Essential:

  • Valid HGV Class 2 licence / Valid CPC
  • Good understanding of vehicle safety and daily checks
  • Reliable and hardworking attitude
  • Strong commitment to health & safety
  • Willingness to learn and develop new skills
  • Comfortable working outdoors and on active sites
  • Ability to work as part of a team
  • VAC EX experience is NOT required – FULL training will be provided.

If you're tired of traditional HGV driving and want to learn something different, this is an opportunity to develop a specialist skill while using your existing Class 2 experience.
