HGV Driver

We are looking for an experienced HGV Driver to join our operational team, providing essential support to utility gangs and reinstatement teams across our contracts in Devon. The successful candidate will be responsible for operating a Grab Truck and Hotbox, ensuring materials, equipment, and resources are delivered safely and efficiently to sites, helping crews complete works to programme and maintain high standards of safety and quality.

You will work closely with utilities operatives, supervisors, and reinstatement teams, supporting a wide range of streetworks and infrastructure activities. This is a hands-on role that requires a proactive approach, strong communication skills, and a commitment to maintaining safe working practices at all times.

What We Expect of You

We expect you to operate vehicles and equipment professionally and safely while complying with all relevant legislation, company procedures, and client requirements. You will support operational gangs by ensuring materials are delivered on time and work locations are kept supplied throughout the working day. You will carry out routine vehicle and equipment inspections, report defects promptly, and maintain vehicles in a clean and roadworthy condition.

You will be expected to work collaboratively with site teams, supervisors, and contract management to help achieve programme targets while maintaining excellent standards of health, safety, and environmental compliance. A positive attitude, flexibility, and willingness to support operational requirements across different activities and locations are essential.

What You Will Bring

You will hold a valid HGV Licence and have previous experience operating both Grab Trucks and Hotboxes within a utilities, highways, or civil engineering environment. You will have a proven track record of supporting operational gangs and understand the demands of working on live utility and streetworks projects.

You will be confident working independently while also contributing positively as part of a wider team. Strong awareness of health and safety requirements, good communication skills, and the ability to manage your workload effectively are important for success in this role.

A Streetworks (NRSWA) card would be advantageous, as would experience supporting reinstatement or tar teams. You will take pride in your work, demonstrate reliability and professionalism, and be committed to delivering a high standard of service to both internal and external stakeholders.
