Roles we are recruiting for at the Sevenoaks/Kent depot

HGV driver/operators

Our Kent-based driver/operator job vacancies are much more than basic driver roles. We are looking for qualified HGV operators to take the wheel of one of our distinctive fleet of Lanes vehicles and take on a broad range of responsibilities.

Our vehicle operator positions see staff getting involved in our essential engineering, repair and maintenance work, while interacting directly with clients to provide a high-quality customer service experience. To help with this, our drivers receive extensive training on the use of our top-of-the-range tools and equipment.

Prior drainage industry experience is beneficial but not essential, which makes this an ideal opportunity for professional drivers from all backgrounds to retrain in an exciting new line of work.

Roles include:

• HGV drivers
• Jet vac operators
