Driver Hire Edinburgh City are currently looking for an experienced HGV Class 2 Driver to join our client in Edinburgh on a 4 on 4 off rota.

This is a great opportunity for a driver looking for steady, ongoing work with short-distance driving and very little manual handling.

The Role

You will be responsible for shunting vehicles over a short distance between locations on site. This is a straightforward role with minimal physical work, as vehicles are loaded and unloaded for you.

Duties will include:

  • Shunting HGV vehicles over a short distance
  • Working 12-hour shifts on a 4 on 4 off rota
  • Moving vehicles safely between locations
  • Following site procedures and safety requirements
  • Working as part of a team
  • Completing basic vehicle checks where required
  • No long-distance driving
  • Very little manual handling
  • Opportunity for ongoing work for the right driver

Pay & Hours

  • £14.75 per hour
  • 12-hour shifts
  • 4 days on / 4 days off
  • Immediate start available

Requirements

  • Full HGV Class 2 (C) licence
  • Minimum 6 months’ HGV Class 2 driving experience
  • Minimum 24 years old due to insurance requirements
  • Maximum 6 penalty points, with no more than 3 points for any single offence
  • No DD, DR, DG, CD or IN endorsements
  • Valid CPC and Digital Tachograph Card
  • Good understanding of drivers’ hours and road safety
  • Reliable, punctual and professional
  • Good communication skills

Why Apply?

If you’re looking for a steady HGV Class 2 role without the long hours on the road or heavy manual work, this could be a great fit.

You’ll have a 4 on 4 off working pattern, short-distance shunting and vehicles loaded and unloaded for you – meaning the role is much less physically demanding than many HGV driving positions.
