Class 2 Driver (Tool Hire Division)


As a Class 2 Driver for the Tool Hire arm of Travis Perkins, you will be the face of our business on the road. You will play a vital role in ensuring our customers get the equipment they need, when they need it, while supporting the Hire Manager in maintaining a safe, organized, and efficient branch environment.


What will I be doing?

  • This is a dynamic, active role that goes beyond just sitting behind the wheel. Your day-to-day will include:
  • Specialist Delivery: Safely transporting and collecting a wide variety of tools and plant equipment for our customers using a Class 2 vehicle.
  • Operational Support: When not on the road, you will assist with housekeeping and general branch activities to ensure the yard and hire hub are running smoothly.
  • Customer Ambassadorship: As a pivotal contact for our customers, you’ll nurture relationships, offer expert advice on our tool hire services, and ensure a professional handover of equipment.
  • Safety & Compliance: Adhering to all road safety legislation as well as Tool Hire processes, audits, and inspections. Safety is at the forefront of everything we do.


What experience do you need?

To be successful in this role, you must hold a valid Class 2 (Category C) Driving Licence.While previous experience within the Plant and Hire industry is advantageous, it is not essential. We are looking for:


  • Reliability: A proven track record in professional driving and time management.
  • Flexibility: A "muck-in" attitude - you are happy to pivot from driving to helping with branch housekeeping and other tasks as needed.
  • Customer Service: The ability to represent the Travis Perkins brand professionally at every drop-off.


Does this sound like you?

We are looking for individuals who are:


  • Highly Adaptable: Comfortable switching between driving and supporting the branch team.
  • Resilient and Tenacious: Able to thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment.
  • Career Focused: Looking to build a long-term career within a large, successful PLC.


Why Join the Tool Hire Team?

Joining our Tool Hire division gives you the stability of a market leader with the feel of a specialist team. You’ll receive:

  • Competitive Pay + Benefits: Including an achievable annual bonus.
  • Discounts: Huge savings across the Travis Perkins Group (including Toolstation).
  • Online discounts at retailers, cinemas, and theme parks.
  • Development: A clear development plan to help you grow your skills and career within the group.


You be you, it makes us, us. We are committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels confident being their authentic selves.
