We are recruiting a Roamer/Tramper HGV Driver to join our team, working from our Operation Centre in Gloucester.
Copart is the global leader in online vehicle remarketing and recycling, working in partnership with many of the world's leading insurance companies, banks, automotive dealers, fleet and rental car companies.
Your home location will be Gloucester, but you will be required to travel to other operation centres to assist them with holiday cover and increased workload. You will be expected to complete 3 to 4 overnights per week.
Driving one of our modern fleet transporters, you will collect and deliver vehicles of all shapes and sizes from both rural and urban environments.

Our Drivers carry out internal and external checks on their trucks and equipment and report any defects, photograph any damage and carry out inspections of all collected and delivered vehicles.
You must comply with legal and company requirements of a professional driver and operate the vehicle and loading equipment in a safe and efficient manner, following all H&S policies and procedures.

- Previous experience in a similar role
- A good understanding of the EU drivers' hours and working time rules
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
- Great customer service skills
- Proficient in basic IT skills and the use of a handheld device
- Car transportation or recovery experience would be an advantage, but not essential
What we offer you in return:
- 23 days holiday plus bank holidays and an additional day per year to celebrate a special occasion to you
- A further paid day to volunteer for a charity of your choice
- Additional night out allowance payment
- Medicash Cover - look after you and your family by providing a range of positive healthcare benefits
