LGV Driver/Loader

Canterbury Environment Company is a new local authority trading company wholly owned by Canterbury City Council to deliver Waste Collection and Street Cleansing services within the Canterbury district.

The district is a great place to work. Nestled in the Garden of England in east Kent, it covers the bustling city of Canterbury with its World Heritage Sites and three universities, the popular coastal towns of Herne Bay and Whitstable as well as 24 beautiful villages.

Waste Collection and Street Cleansing is a high-profile, front-facing service that Canterbury City Council commissions and is a universal service, benefiting everyone within the district.

The establishment of Canterbury Environment Company marks a new chapter for the city council, with the service being provided by an outsourced, privately-owned, company for over the past two decades.

One of the key drivers for establishing the Canterbury Environment Company is that it will enable the council to have greater control over the day-to-day delivery of the service as well as the flexibility to respond and adapt to environmental, technological and legislative changes.

The role:

We are looking for experienced refuse drivers to deliver a professional service across the Canterbury District. You will have an LGV licence and current CPC certificate.

We want a team player who will be able to carry out our refuse and recycling collections whilst complying with safety rules and Health and Safety at Work requirements. Duties include driving, collection and disposal of refuse and all other waste related tasks assigned by the manager. The job can be physically demanding at times so you will need to be happy getting stuck in.
