HGV Class 1 Driver – Refrigerated Haulage (Permanent, Full-Time)
Location: Outskirts of Norwich, Norfolk
Salary: Starting From £38,000 per annum
(Increasing with existing experience)

Are you an experienced HGV Class 1 (C+E) Driver looking for more than just a job?

ARC is partnering with a thriving, Family run, well established refrigerated haulage firm on the outskirts of Norwich that values routine, security, and a genuine work-life balance for its team.
If you’re tired of unpredictable schedules and constantly changing routes, this is your opportunity to join a prospering business where you can become a valued, long-term team member.

The Role: Stability on the Road
This is a full-time, permanent position driving a Class 1 refrigerated lorry. You won’t be navigating a new city every day!
You’ll be taking ownership of an established, set route plan each week.

Why a Set Route is Great:

• Become the Route Master: You’ll quickly get to know your runs like the back of your hand. This means less stress, fewer unknowns, and the satisfaction of knowing you are the most efficient person for the job.
• Customer Relationships: You’ll build professional, familiar relationships with the customers you deliver to, making your drop-offs smoother and more personable.
• True Work-Life Balance: This role is paid on a secure annual salary, not an hourly rate. This is key! Once you master your set route, you can focus on efficiency, giving you the control to complete your work to a high standard and then get home on time. It’s about getting the job done well and smartly, not just dragging out the clock.

Key Responsibilities

• Safely and correctly operate and drive an HGV Class 1 refrigerated vehicle.
• Execute an established, recurring weekly route plan for deliveries.
• Ensure the security and correct temperature of chilled/frozen goods during transit.
• Complete necessary vehicle checks, defect reporting, and delivery documentation accurately.
• Provide professional and reliable service to established clients.
• What We’re Looking For
• A valid HGV Class 1 (C+E) Driving Licence.
• A current Driver CPC Card and Digital Tachograph Card.
• Proven experience driving Class 1 vehicles, preferably with refrigerated units (though training can be provided for the right candidate).
• A responsible, reliable, and professional attitude.
• A driver who is looking for a stable, long-term career and values routine.

Ready to ditch the unpredictability for stability?

If you’re an experienced HGV 1 driver looking for a place where your skills, routine, and commitment are rewarded with security and a good work-life balance, we want to hear from you!
