We're on the hunt for a driver / loader, could this be you? If you're hands-on, full of energy and ready to make a real difference (while breaking a daily step record), keep reading.


Reporting to your Supervisor, you'll be the boots on the ground - you'll be responsible for a recycling, refuse or trade round, which comes with the bonus of a FREE daily fitness plan!


Drivers help us to lead the way in collecting top-notch recycling - making sure every can, bottle or box is up to scratch and no refuse bins left unturned. You will have pride in keeping service standards high and providing customer satisfaction.


What you NEED to bring to the table:


A current C Class Driving licence (LGV) A valid Driver CPC card

Bonus points if you've got:

Valid Digital Tachograph Card Experience of driving waste vehicles Experience carrying out morning daily vehicle checks and a track record of looking after your office!

Who are you?

Can chat with anyone - great people skills, able to listen and advise, with a customer-first attitude Can work and get along with anyone - teamwork makes the dream work! Can lead by example - follow processes and procedures without turning it into a drama. Can have a laugh, but at the same time be fully aware of Safety First! Can work 37 hours each week and is fine with the odd bit of overtime. Is happy to help -you never know when you'll need a favour back! Doesn't mind getting stuck in - up for physical work and won't let a bit of rain, snow or wind get in the way.

Even more reasons to apply ...

26 days holiday + generous pension Only 3 Saturday catch up days over the festive period to keep us on track, and most importantly leave you with those special days (Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day) free to spend time with your friends, family and pets. If a free workout during work hours just isn't quite enough for you, then there is an option to sign up for a discounted Ffit Conwy membership too. Free CPC courses (and overtime for Saturday attendance) for all LGV drivers to keep you topped up.
They say variety is the spice of life- box ticked - you could be based out of any of our depots and be required to drive a range of recycling and refuse vehicles.


Our intention is to get these posts filled in early 2026 -therefore don't worry or let this put you off applying if you already have work lined up over the busy Christmas period. Do that, then come to us!
