East of England

Recruiting permanent drivers in Harlow

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Permanent vacancies across the East of England come from container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

If Harlow is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Permanent hires across the East of England often come from drivers already working around the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Harlow

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

What Harlow employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

Pay that lands

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

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Harlow

Indicative permanent salaries in Harlow run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Pay in the East of England moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

From brief to start date

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

Your brief

Before we start searching

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
