Car Parts Van Driver

SR Transit is the UK’s Specialist Car Parts Transporter and we’re expanding due to new contracts!

We provide a safe and superior service alternative to using couriers for the transport of large and fragile vehicle parts. Our drivers are respected within the automotive industry for serving businesses and enthusiasts alike with professionalism, expert car parts handling and above all- passion for what we do! We are looking for more drivers who are ready to build a career within the automotive and transport industries and can offer shift flexibility and a large range of benefits for dedicated and knowledgeable car, truck or motorbike enthusiasts!

Daily Ops: Collecting single to bulk quantities of parts from businesses and domestic addresses and delivering to the correct drivers and company depots across the UK

Occasional Ops: Providing relief cover for delivery drivers during leave and busy periods

Admin: Checking routes, contacting clients and working with the office to onboard new business and improve collection efficiency

H&S: Signing van in and out of shift, doing vehicle checks and submitting reports

Ethics: Safe driving, thoughtful parking and closing gates are all part of considerate logistics!

Travel: Regular working away from home covering remote geographies (fully expensed inc food, hotels / overnight parking when using sleeper vehicles)

Lifestyle Career: Attending automotive events on behalf of the company for logistics and promotional purposes including car shows, race weekends and trade fairs

This is not a courier or self-employed role! Our team are directly employed with opportunities to progress their career in the automotive and transport industries including operations, administrative and management career paths. We are looking to hire those with a genuine passion for all things automotive! Professional driving experience is not necessary. This role requires long distance driving and the physical capability to load and unload large car parts to vehicles throughout the day- please consider this before applying.
