Description:
This is a permanent role with good overtime rates available.
We are looking for a reliable, professional, and experienced Multi-Drop Driver based near Colney Street, Hertfordshire, with extensive experience driving throughout London.
This role is ideal for someone who knows London's roads inside and out. We are not looking for a driver who simply follows a sat nav—we need someone with genuine knowledge of London's streets, traffic patterns, restricted routes, loading areas, and the most efficient ways to complete deliveries safely and on time, as drops are time critical.
Key Responsibilities:
* Complete scheduled deliveries and collections throughout London and surrounding areas
* Plan efficient delivery routes using your knowledge of London's road network and traffic conditions.
* Load, transport, and unload goods safely and securely.
* Ensure deliveries are completed accurately and on schedule.
* Carry out daily vehicle safety checks and maintain the vehicle in a clean, roadworthy condition.
* Provide a professional and courteous service to customers at all times.
* Complete delivery paperwork and use handheld devices where required.
Essential Requirements:
* Must live within a reasonable commuting distance of Colney Street, Hertfordshire.
* Proven experience as a professional driver carrying out regular deliveries throughout London.
* Excellent knowledge of London's road network, congestion zones, one-way systems, loading restrictions, and peak traffic conditions.
* Ability to navigate confidently without relying solely on satellite navigation.
* Full UK driving licence with a clean or near-clean driving record.
* Strong time management and organisational skills.
* Good communication skills and a professional attitude.
* Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently.
Desirable:
* Experience in multi-drop delivery.
* Knowledge of Central London delivery procedures and commercial loading bays.
* Experience driving vans up to 3.5 tonnes.
