Delivery drivers have a critical role within our company as you are the face of Caterite while delivering to our customers. Therefore, the successful applicant will need to be friendly, enthusiastic, physically fit, reliable and able to work alone and as part of a team. Successful candidates will be required to work 5/6 days per week, over Monday to Saturday. Flexibility around start and finish times is required from you as you could be on site as early as 03.00 am. based on the delivery destination. This could be the role for you if you prefer early morning starts.
You will be responsible for:
Checking and loading their own vehicle
Checking paperwork and route planning
Delivering goods to customers and verifying the contents of your loads against invoice papers
Delivering mainly in Cumbria and Southwest Scotland but as far a field as Chester and the North East.
Communication with customers and the Transport office.
Experience in working within the busy dispatch department is of advantage but full training on products, procedures and systems will be provided. The shift can go from relaxed to hectic at times, as the workload can quickly change depending on the number of orders received therefore a flexible, focused and hands-on approach is of benefit.
About You
You will be naturally friendly and want to get stuck in, working with your team to deliver great results. You will have an enthusiastic approach to learning new skills. You will deliver high standards, working accurately and efficiently.
