About The Role:

We're looking for an experienced LGV Tipper Driver with at least 12 months' driving experience and a strong understanding of transport legislation, including Drivers' Hours regulations and the Working Time Directive.

You'll be confident in working within 'O' licence requirements and following company procedures to ensure full compliance at all times.

In this role, you'll take pride in maintaining a clean, safe and fully compliant vehicle, carrying out thorough pre‑use checks and reporting any defects in line with DVSA standards.

You'll also be responsible for the safe and secure loading and unloading of a rigid tipper, working in accordance with all Northumbrian Water health and safety expectations and contributing to our "Everyone Home Safe Everyday" culture.

At Northumbrian Water, we're passionate about protecting the environment and operating sustainably.

With this in mind, you'll adopt a safe, fuel‑efficient driving style that promotes optimum vehicle performance while supporting our commitment to responsible operations.

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, so we're looking for someone who can deliver great customer service to our wastewater teams.

At Northumbrian Water, you'll become part of a friendly, supportive team and will meet a wide range of great people every day.

While teamwork plays a big part in what we do, there will also be times when you'll work independently, so confidence in both environments is essential.

Tipper experience is highly desirable and will help you settle into the role quickly, but we're also keen to hear from candidates who have the right attitude, transferable skills and a willingness to learn.
