If you are an experienced rigid driver looking for a stable, well-paid role in North Dublin, this opportunity could be exactly what you are looking for. This position offers a strong salary, daily meal allowance and valuable benefits including Death in Service cover equal to two times annual salary from your first day of employment.
In this role, you will be responsible for completing delivery routes across Dublin and surrounding areas while maintaining high standards of safety and professionalism. You will typically start your day at 05:30, with most shifts finishing between 13:00 & 14:00, meaning you can often finish early in the afternoon. If earlier starts do not suit your circumstances, later start times can also be facilitated where possible.
