We are looking to recruit a permanent HGV Class 1 (C+E) Driver to work in our straw haulage operation based out of Bunwell, Norfolk. The straw lorries are DAF wagon & drag flatbeds designed to carry straw bales destined for biomass power generation.

HGV1 licence with Driver CPC

Prepared to work nights out
Available over harvest (July-September)
Previous agricultural experience desirable but not essential
Candidate Duties
A typical day will start between 5.00am and 6.00am and take you to a straw storage site on a farm in the East of England where you will be loaded with large or midi hesston bales. You will strap up your load and deliver it to one of our customer's fuel storage or processing sites in the East of England. Due to the structure of the day, it makes sense to be 'up the road' for most of the week, overnighting on farm or near the customer's sites.
