Who we employ at the Bristol depot

HGV driver/operators

We offer a wide range of driver/operator job vacancies at Lanes, giving qualified HGV operators a much broader opportunity to develop their skills in new ways than a typical driving job in Bristol.

Drivers of our distinctive, state-of-the-art Lanes vehicles will get involved directly in our essential engineering, repair and maintenance work, making use of our top-of-the-range tools and jet vacuumation equipment. Staff in our driving jobs in Bristol will also be expected to provide responsive customer service to a wide range of clients, making this so much more than a conventional driving role.

Prior drainage industry experience is a plus, but not essential, as all members of staff will receive the training they need to succeed in the role. That could make this an opportunity for drivers from other professional backgrounds to retrain in a new line of work.

Roles include:

• HGV drivers
• Jet vac operators

Roles include:
