As an 18 tonne driver at Makro you will be working for the UK's largest wholesaler. We have a growing delivery operation with over 100 employees on site. So a driving role here means that you will be part of a business that offers "wheel" stability and one of the most competitive salaries right here on your doorstep.
Making up to 15 deliveries a day to our wonderful local customers. Our lorries are temperature controlled so you too can be a "chilled out" driver even when the manual handling will get you working up a sweat.
Our drivers are the heart of our business so the work can be hard and it isn't for the feint-hearted. But you will have a regular routine, time on your own and a radio to sing your heart out too while you are:
Delivering up to 15 drops a day
Getting on with the job without supervision
Putting a smile on the face of our customers.
What more could you want?
A Cat C/ 18T licence having driven for at least two years.
Experience of multi-drops would be preferable but not essential, as you will get 15 opportunities a day to "brake" you in.
A DQC card is a must as we drive a professional operation.
To be in good physical shape as the work can be demanding but don't worry we won't exhaust you.
