Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Biocair Full time

At Biocair our Drivers, or Life Science Logistics Technician's as we prefer them to be known, are a truly vital part of our organisation.

This is not just any driver role; it is not just any courier role.

This is one of the most crucial roles in our company where what you do will make a true impact on someone's life.

It is something you can be proud to be associated with.

It is not about dropping 200 parcels in one day, it's about ensuring you transport a select number of time critical and temperature sensitive consignments (whether medicines or a sample from a cancer patient) in a safe, careful, and timely manner whilst maintaining the highest levels of customer care.

This is a busy and fast paced role with customer care being at the centre of all you do.

Responsibilities will include:

  • The preparation and packaging of all specialist packaging and temperaturecontrolled consignments including Ambient Packing"; "Refrigerated Packing"; Frozen Packing; "Dry Ice Packing"; "Infectious Substances Packing"; "Dangerous Goods Packing" and Liquid Nitrogen ensuring all mandatory procedures are adhered to.
  • Ensuring all the correct documentation is accurately completed and processed with the shipment.
  • Responsible for the cleanliness of the vehicle and completing daily vehicle checks.
  • Responsible for building positive working relationships with other drivers, departments, and management to deliver excellent communication and customer service and working proactively to overcome problems and implement process improvements.

In addition, you will demonstrate these key competencies:

  • Excellent customer service skills.
  • A full and valid UK Category B driving license (manual license), with a maximum of 3 points.
  • Previous 3.5t van driving experience.
  • Demonstrable experience of working well under time pressure as well as the ability to check and maintain accurate documentation.
  • Experience of working within pharmaceutical industry (ideally in a logistics setting) is preferred.
  • Resilience, the ability to build strong working relationships and be a true team player.

In return we offer:

  • A competitive salary
  • A generous noncontributory pension
  • Bonus scheme
  • 25 days holiday and the option to buy/sell 5 days
  • Life Assurance
  • Group Income Protection
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Wellness Programme

Please note that this is a full time role, 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
working shifts between 04:00 to 18:00
based at our Sawston office (CB22 3TJ
).
Overtime is an option.


This is a UK based role and the right to live and work in the UK will need to be established during the recruitment process.

Please note we are not currently a Home Office visa sponsorship licence holder.
