Job description:

An opportunity has arisen for an individual to support our DVLA Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) fleet as an ANPR driver.

Reporting to the ANPR Team Leader you will operate a fleet of vehicles containing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras.

Role Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Driving the ANPR vehicle on a daily basis, ensuring that it is set up in line with prescribed operating and health and safety instructions.
Contacting the helpdesk with details of location when set up and results when closing down.
