Joining our friendly and hardworking team as a HGV CLASS 2 Driver, you'll be on the front line dealing with orders, deliveries and stock coming in and out of the business. As part of the branch team, you will play a vital role in our continued success, providing a first class service.
What will I be doing?
You’ll be carrying out multi-drop deliveries of building materials (Mainly pipeline and heating products) from our branch to our local customers in a safe and professional manner. It’ll be your responsibility to ensure the vehicle is properly loaded, safe and in-line with road and transport legislation.
The successful candidate will be safety focussed, ensuring work is completed in a safe and professional manner. Our drivers are passionate about what we do and delivering for our customers, we want like minded drivers to join our team with the same mindset and ambition.
As well as this, you will be having credible conversations with our customers, as you join us to be the face of our branch. We will continuously aim to provide a great reliable delivery service, completed to a high standard… Every time!
It is also important to remember that..
Our success is built on strong relationships with our customers so it’s essential that you can help deliver the highest standards of service - the key thing is to be helpful and friendly at all times, you will likely get to know our customers on a first name basis.
Safety is at the forefront of everything we do, your aim will be to ensure that our standards never slip, this means maintaining a tidy and safe working environment.
Who we are?
We’ve been around a long time and know a thing or two about our sector. Today, we’re the UK’s market-leading distributor of pipeline and heating solutions and are well known for our innovative approach. We’re part of the Travis Perkins Group, recognised as one of the UK’s top employers. That’s why the first thing you’ll notice at BSS is the way everyone pulls together. As soon as you walk through the door, you’ll be welcomed by down to earth people, who are proud of what they do with a determination to succeed and a passion for being the best we can be. It’s the people in the business that are the cornerstone of our success. Work with us and you’ll be joining a valued team where ideas, opinions and contributions matter.
For this role you will be joining the team in BSS Oxford. This is a fairly new team of 11, but a competitive branch nevertheless, where they deal with a lot of customers in a day. Joining this team you will be placed in a fast paced environment and will be at the forefront of our business with this customer facing role.. The team is very friendly and has a mix of experience within the team, however the members with little to none who have been taken under their wing still are as valued as the people who have been there for years. They strive to make sure their service is the best in town. With local competition we are looking for somebody who can bring enthusiasm and drive to our team to make the branch complete. With our very close knit team and loyal customer base this would be the perfect opportunity for someone to get their foot in the door. Experience with multi drop driving is not necessary if you have the right attitude towards our branch culture and safety!!
My name is Natalie, and I currently work as part of the recruitment team here at Travis Perkins, but I started of my career in my local branch when I was 18 completing a development programme, which I then became a Branch Supervisor. Let me tell you more about us, and why you should consider a career with our brilliant business.
You’ll find opportunities and benefits that make a career rewarding and worthwhile. It’s no coincidence that our average length of service is 10 years. It’s because we do all we can to make BSS a great place to work.
BSS have a tonne of benefits too:
22 days annual leave, pension, bonus and staff discount (Including 20% off at Toolstation!)
Discounts at various retailers including Currys, Tesco, Boots, John Lewis + many more!
BSS is part of the Travis Perkins plc group. Our group has a number of different businesses under its umbrella meaning plenty of opportunity for internal movement and progression, it’s strongly encouraged here
Sociable working hours
I hope that you’re as excited about this role as I am, and that my first hand experience has provided a small insight into what we do here. Apply today, you won’t regret it!
We’re driving to become a truly inclusive employer. We want everyone to be at their best and it’s our ambition that everyone within our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves.
Applicants will have a Class 2 driving license, up to date CPC records and recent driving experience
