* Following site-specific health and safety procedures.

* Maintaining high standards of vehicle cleanliness and presentation.

* Working closely with the Transport Manager and operational teams.

* Representing the business professionally when visiting customer sites.

* Supporting overtime and out-of-hours requirements when needed.

What We're Looking For
