Job Description

The Lockwood Group is a dynamic forward thinking family run business established in 1965, which currently has over 350 employees across 7 UK sites. The group's activities include UK transport, distribution and storage, frozen food production and co-packing solutions.


Are you a professional HGV driver looking for a company that trusts you to get the job done? The Lockwood Group is a dynamic, family-run business with over 50 years of experience, and we're seeking reliable Class 1 drivers to join our team.


This isn't a job where you're constantly chased for updates. We believe in providing you with a consistent workload, the latest technology, and the independence you need to succeed. As a DVSA Earned Recognition operator, we take pride in our modern, well-maintained fleet and our commitment to a professional, no-nonsense approach to transport.

The Role

Night Shift:

4 on, 4 off. Shift hours are based on an average of 12 hours per shift, calculated over a 26-week reference period. Successful applicants will complete their first block of shifts on days for induction and training before moving to nights.

Pay:

35,126 basic salary, with a performance bonus of up to 2,400 per year. Shift hours are based on an average of 12 hours per shift, calculated over a 26 week reference period. Graded driver performance bonus (Grade A - D) worth up to 2,400.00 per annum

What you'll do:

As part of our general haulage team, you'll primarily be trunking loads between our UK depots. A typical night might involve moving loaded and empty trailers between our Caldicot, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Essex and Ambergate sites. There may be the occasional customer collection or delivery, but you'll have a consistent workload with no surprises.

What we carry:

A wide variety of goods, from packaging to food and beverages--and everything in between.

What We Offer

A modern fleet of premium brand vehicles (MAN, Scania, DAF & Iveco). Full training and guidance for all new hires, including newly qualified drivers. Funded CPC training and opportunities to gain new skills (ADR, FLT, driver assessor). Workplace pension and 20 days of annual leave. Full PPE and uniform provided. Recently refurbished on-site facilities and free parking.

What You Need

You'll be a fully qualified Class 1 (C+E) driver with a valid CPC and Digi card. Most importantly, you'll have a strong understanding of legal obligations, with a professional approach to load security and safety. Newly qualified drivers are welcome--we have a team of assessors and mentors to get you up to speed.
