South East

Recruiting permanent drivers in Andover

Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.

Driving employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.

Hiring across the South East is shaped by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Andover

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

What Andover employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Andover goes to someone who can get there every day.

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

How it works

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
