HGV Class 1 HIAB Driver - Unlimited Ticket Required*

Family-Run Construction Business | Bedford & Caxton | Mon-Fri | 7:30am Start | £20/hr (with Holiday Pay)

Driver Hire Bedford & Huntingdon is recruiting for a long-standing, family-orientated construction client who is looking for a driver with a Class 1 Unlimited HIAB licence.

If you're a Class 1 driver looking for a stable, long-term home with a business that genuinely backs its people - this is the one.

The Role

You'll be delivering temporary accommodation units to construction sites across the region for a well-established, family-run construction business. The work is varied, regional (no nights away), and team-based:

Driving the HGV to site, working as part of a convoy - never on your own, always with backup
Operating the lorry-mounted HIAB crane to load and unload units on site
Working alongside a small, friendly team of drivers and site staff
A real opportunity to learn, progress, and build a long-term career with one employer

Why This Role Stands Out

Monday to Friday only - no weekends, no nights out, home every night
7:30am start - far more civilised than the 5am/6am starts most HGV roles offer
Family-run business - loyal, long-term employer, not a faceless corporate
Convoy working - team-based, not isolated solo driving
Local, regional work - Bedford, Caxton and surrounding areas

Pay & Benefits

£20 per hour (inclusive of holiday pay) while on temp-to-perm - that's a realistic £46,000+ per year at standard hours, before overtime
Overtime available on top
45 hours per week - predictable, Mon-Fri only
Workplace pension
Permanent role following successful temp-to-perm period
Long-term, stable employment with a respected local employer

What We Need From You

HGV Class 1 (C+E) - full UK manual
Valid CPC and Tacho card
No more than 6 points on your licence
Strong customer service and communication skills - you'll be on customer sites every day
Comfortable with manual handling alongside crane-assisted lifting
Class 1 Unlimited HIAB ticket
A genuine interest in building a long-term career with one employer
