Full Training Provided You don't need previous experience in poultry feed deliveries, as up to one month of training is provided. Training will include: * Week 1: Working in the cab alongside an experienced driver, learning routes and delivery points. Approximately 30% of the week will involve driving, with the remaining time spent as a passenger. * Weeks 2–4: Working in convoy, normally alongside two other vehicles and always with at least one other driver. * Detailed training on the correct delivery of poultry feed. * Specific procedures for delivering feed into metal silos. * Strict procedures to prevent cross-contamination, which is extremely important within the business. It is very unusual for a single vehicle to attend a delivery. Where only one vehicle is required, the company generally sends one of its most experienced drivers. What We're Looking For * Valid Class 1 (C+E) licence * Reliable and safety-conscious drivers * Good understanding of vehicle positioning and manoeuvring * Comfortable driving on narrow and challenging rural roads * Willingness to follow detailed delivery procedures * Good attitude towards training and working as part of a team Immediate starts are available, subject to interview.
