Position Overview & Specifications
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a full time, permanent position with Metro Rod, the UK's leading drainage company. A clean driving licence is required (or you can be keen to take your driving licence) as is a good understanding of English and Maths. The standard hours of work are 08.30 - 17.00 Monday to Friday but we offer a genuine 24/7 service and our clients often want us to work at different times. A willingness to work extra hours is required. Minimum age is 17 years old.
No experience is necessary as all training will be provided. You will support our tanker drivers to deliver a first class service to our clients. The right person will then be trained on all aspects of maintaining and using the tanker, with a view to becoming a tanker driver in the future.
This is an amazing opportunity and would suit someone who is looking to improve their opportunities and wants a permanent career with a reputable company. This is a permanent full time job with a company that is growing.
Due to the fact that we work in care homes, you must be double jabbed or have your second job booked.
