What You’ll Do:

Night Drivers - Our HGV Class 2 Night Drivers work on shifts, safely transporting parcels from our Depot to a Delivery Unit (that's where our couriers pick them up). You will typically do 2 or 3 'wave' runs a night.

Whatever the shift or the route, Hermes Drivers ensure the safe, efficient driving of vehicles and keep their paperwork updated.
