Hgv Class 1 Driver-Days & Nights-Store Deliveries

HGV Class 1 Driver – Days & Nights – Sawley

SGM Recruitment is recruiting HGV Class 1 drivers for ongoing refrigerated store delivery work supporting the Aldi distribution operation across Sawley and Bardon.

We welcome applications from experienced Class 1 drivers seeking day or night shifts, with full-time, part-time and occasional availability considered.

Locations

The operation runs from Sawley distribution centres:

• Sawley, Tamworth Road, Derbyshire, DE72 2HP.

The work

As an HGV Class 1 Driver, you will operate refrigerated trailers delivering to Aldi stores across the Midlands. This is regional store delivery work with relatively low mileage.

Shifts typically last around 10–12 hours, although finishing times vary depending on the workload and operational

requirements. A significant part of the shift involves time at distribution centres and stores during loading and unloading, rather than driving alone.

Aldi staff carry out most loading and unloading, although some driver involvement is required. Drivers must follow site procedures and complete the relevant delivery and temperature checks.

Shift availability

Day-shift start times generally range from 03:00 to 12:00. Night-shift start times generally range from 14:00 to 23:00.

Your preferred working days, start times and depot will be discussed during recruitment. Weekly pay and ongoing agency work are available, with the applicable pay rate and assignment details agreed before starting.

Requirements

To apply for this HGV Class 1 Driver position, you will need:

• A valid UK Category C+E driving licence.
• A valid Driver CPC and Digital Tachograph Card.
• At least six months of Class 1 driving experience.
• Confidence reversing and manoeuvring articulated vehicles.
• A reliable, professional approach and attention to vehicle checks, paperwork and temperature procedures.

Induction

Drivers will complete an Aldi induction covering site procedures, loading and unloading processes, and temperature checks. Successful candidates will then complete accompanied shifts before working independently.
