<p class="text-muted mb-3">Role purpose</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">As a Relocation Operative Driver – HGV, you'll safely transport colleagues, vehicles and customer belongings while delivering a wide range of relocation services across household, commercial, international, government and specialist environments, including transfers to and from warehouse storage or recycling facilities. You'll combine professional driving with practical relocation expertise to ensure every move is delivered safely, efficiently and with exceptional customer care. From hospitals, laboratories, museums and libraries to schools, corporate offices and secure government facilities, you’ll support large scale projects and work as part of a skilled operational team, interacting with customers, members of the public, and colleagues including operational and warehouse supervisors, team leaders, drivers, administrators and sales staff.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">This is a physically demanding role requiring resilience, teamwork and the strength and endurance to safely lift, carry and move heavy items, including working on stairs. You’ll regularly need to adapt with flexibility to tight, often changing schedules, including early starts, late finishes, evenings and weekends. Longer-distance moves may also involve overnight stays in accommodation or vehicles, both in the UK and overseas. Our people are what makes Harrow Green exceptional. As the face of our business, you'll bring professionalism, pride and a customer-first approach to every relocation.</p>
