Job description

We're recruiting HGV Drivers to join our team at our Bristol Operation Centre, BS10 7SF.

As a Car Transporter Driver, you'll load, collect, and deliver accident-damaged vehicles, often requiring physical effort. This full-time, Monday to Friday role offers a great work-life balance with no bank holiday work.

Copart is a global leader in online vehicle remarketing and recycling, partnering with insurance companies, banks, and automotive businesses. Drivers must comply with legal and company standards, performing vehicle inspections and reporting any issues.

No transporter experience? No worries – we'll provide 3 weeks of one-on-one training and ongoing CPC training. If you have a Cat C licence, you can upskill to C+E after completing your probation.

A reasonable salary expectation based on an average of 7 vehicle collections per day, would be approx. up to £46,332pa.

We see Copart as a family and as a supportive network. We work together to strive for greatness in a forever changing environment, but not forgetting to enjoy the journey.

What we need from you:

  • HGV/LGV Licence Class 1 or 2

  • Must have a minimum of 18 months experience in HGV/LGV driving

  • A good understanding of the EU ‘drivers' hours’ and ‘working time’ rules using a Tachograph

  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

  • Excellent customer service skills

  • Proficient in basic IT skills and the use of a handheld device

  • Car transportation or recovery experience would be an advantage

What we offer you in return:

  • Time For You: Relax with 23 days of holiday plus bank holidays, and an extra day for a personal special occasion.

  • Give Back: Receive a paid day to volunteer for a charity of your choice.

  • Health & Wellness: Healthcare Cash Plan.

  • Your Future: Join our contributory workplace pension scheme for financial security.

  • Investment: Purchase shares in our global company at a discounted rate.

  • Fitness & Health: Save money while commuting with our Cycle to Work Scheme and access fitness videos and gym discounts.

  • Life Assurance: Enjoy peace of mind with our life insurance coverage.

  • Exclusive Discounts: Access our deals hub for savings on everyday purchases and family activities.

This role is subject to a satisfactory Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) and reference checks.
