Class 2 HGV - Scientific Deliveries

Class 2 HGV Driver - Specialist Scientific Deliveries - Huntingdon

Mon-Fri | Home Most Nights | £18 Per Hour*

Tired of multidrop, tramping or back-of-warehouse trunking? This one's different.

Our client is a market-leading provider of specialist logistics services, delivering high-value scientific and laboratory equipment to universities, hospitals, research campuses and labs across the country. As they continue on their journey of growth, they're looking for Class 2 HGV Drivers who enjoy variety, customer contact, and a role that offers a bit more than the standard driving job.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Monday to Friday only - no weekends. Predictable 40-45 hour week.
• Home most nights. Occasional overnight stays for larger jobs - always with plenty of notice.
• £18 Per Hour (Including Holiday Pay), with regular overtime and performance bonus.
• Genuinely varied work - a university lab one day, a hospital research wing the next.
• Two-person crews most days - great if you're tired of being on your own all day.
• Clean, professional sites - no scruffy industrial estates or rough yards.

The Role

You'll be delivering specialist scientific and laboratory equipment to point of use - that means you're not just dropping at a dock, you're taking the kit through to where it's actually needed. Sites typically include universities, laboratories, hospitals and research campuses.

The work has a real customer-service element to it - you'll be the face of the client on site - and there's a fair amount of manual handling, but full training and equipment are provided, and you'll usually be working as part of a two-person team. Larger jobs bring in additional crew where needed.

Start times are usually between 06:00 and 06:30.

Overnight Stays

When the job takes you further afield, the client covers everything: hotel, evening meal, and £40 night-out allowance on top of your normal pay. Notice is always given well in advance, so no last-minute surprises and no being away from home unexpectedly.

What's In It For You

• £18 Per Hour (Including Holiday Pay)
• Performance-related bonus opportunities can take earnings upwards of £40,000
• Workplace pension
• Full uniform and PPE provided
• Ongoing training and upskilling
• Employee Assistance Program
• Permanent or Temp-to-Perm arrangements available

What We Need From You

• Valid Class 2 HGV (C) Licence with in-date Tacho card and Driver CPC
• Strong customer service skills - you'll be representing the client on site every day
• A can-do, team-first attitude
• Comfortable with manual handling - full training and equipment provided
