£28072 plus overtime. Opportunity to progress to Class 1
TP Niven is a 3 generation family owned business with depots in Lockerbie, Palnackie, Mauchline, Stranraer, Campbeltown and Somerset.
Due to our continued success and growth we are on the lookout for professional HGV Class 2 Drivers to join our Palletline team, based out of our Lockerbie Depot, carrying out multidrop deliveries throughout the Palletline Network, predominantly in Dumfries & Galloway and Ayrshire.

We have a modern, well maintained fleet with our own in-house maintenance team.
You will be required to pass a driving assessment. You must be health and safety aware, able and willing to follow company procedures and adhere to driving rules and regulations.

As a representative of TP Niven in regular contact with our customers and also representing Palletline you must display a professional attitude and high level of customer care at all times.
There is also the opportunity for Class 2 drivers to progress to Class 1 with training, funding and support from TP Niven.
