The Role

The role involves delivering poultry feed to farms, with typically 24 deliveries per day , depending on the distance between farms.

Some delivery locations can be very tight, and the roads leading to farms can be challenging, so drivers need to be confident handling a Class 1 vehicle in rural and restricted-access locations.

Drivers will work 12-hour shifts :

• Days: 06:0018:00
• Nights: 18:0006:00

Overtime is paid after 42 or 48 hours , depending on the shift pattern.

Full Training Provided

You don't need previous experience in poultry feed deliveries, as up to one month of training is provided.

Training will include:

• Week 1: Working in the cab alongside an experienced driver, learning routes and delivery points. Approximately 30% of the week will involve driving, with the remaining time spent as a passenger.
• Weeks 24: Working in convoy, normally alongside two other vehicles and always with at least one other driver.
• Detailed training on the correct delivery of poultry feed.
• Specific procedures for delivering feed into metal silos.
• Strict procedures to prevent cross-contamination , which is extremely important within the business.

It is very unusual for a single vehicle to attend a delivery. Where only one vehicle is required, the company generally sends one of its most experienced drivers.

What We're Looking For

• Valid Class 1 (C+E) licence
• Reliable and safety-conscious drivers
• Good understanding of vehicle positioning and manoeuvring
• Comfortable driving on narrow and challenging rural roads
• Willingness to follow detailed delivery procedures
• Good attitude towards training and working as part of a team

Immediate starts are available , subject to interview.

If you're an experienced Class 1 driver looking for a long-term opportunity with full training and the potential to go permanent, apply today.
