Job Description
Job Title: European Tour Driver – HGV Class 2 (Cat C)
Location: Wandsworth, London
Salary: Competitive DOE + benefits
Job Type: Full-time
About the Role
Our client, a busy transport operator, is looking for an experienced HGV Class 2 (Cat C) European Tour Driver to join their team, based out of Wandsworth. You'll be responsible for multi-drop European deliveries, working tours of several days at a time across UK/EU routes.
What You'll Be Doing
* Driving multi-day European tours, delivering and collecting freight across the UK and EU
* Planning routes efficiently in line with driving hours and tachograph regulations
* Completing all relevant paperwork — CMRs, delivery notes, customs documentation
* Ensuring the vehicle and load are secure and compliant throughout the journey
* Communicating regularly with the transport office regarding progress, delays, and any issues
* Carrying out daily vehicle checks and reporting defects
* Representing the company professionally at all times, including with European clients/depots
What We're Looking For
* Full UK/EU HGV Class 2 (Cat C) licence
* Valid Driver CPC and Digital Tachograph Card
* Previous European driving experience essential
* Familiarity with EU driving hours regulations and cabotage rules
* Valid passport, comfortable with overnight stays away from home
* Good communication skills and a professional, reliable manner
* No more than 6 points on licence (no DR/DD convictions)
* Irish citizenship and/or Irish CPC card preferred but not essential — since Brexit, EU/Irish documentation can simplify cabotage and cross-border work, so this is a nice-to-have rather than a requirement
Benefits
* Competitive salary + overnight allowances
* Modern fleet
* Ongoing support from the transport office
* Long-term, stable work
