Requirements

  • A great communicator who can think clearly and make sound plans no matter how busy things get, you’ll feel right at home with us. You’re an organised and analytical thinker, and you know how to keep things simple. We’ll supply the 3.5 ton van, training and all the kit you’ll need to do the job. You’ll need a manual UK driving licence (Category B/B1 which covers you to drive up to 3.5T vehicles), that you’ve held for at least a year with no more than 6 points. Previous experience as a multi-drop delivery driver is useful, but not essential. You’re flexible enough to work on a rota that includes weekends, evenings and bank holidays.
  • To keep everybody safe and reassure our customers, if you're successful in this role, we carry out checks through Experian with the DVLA to verify the information you've given us. As well as this, we also do a DBS check (Disclosure and Barring Service). Any discrepancies will be discussed directly with you

Responsibilities

  • We have over 300 B&Q Stores, our Digital Hub Stores are the largest in the estate and deliver locally to our customers’ homes. Deliveries in our 3.5 ton vans range from a tin of paint to 30 packs of flooring, so you'll be comfortable with some heavy lifting & play an important part in helping our customers create a home they’ll love. When you’re not delivering multi-drop orders to customers’ homes, you will be based on our shopfloor where you will use new technology to fulfil customer orders and support your colleagues where needed. Efficiency and safety will be vital of course, but importantly, you’ll represent our B&Q brand, putting customers first, everywhere you go.
