HGV Driver Class 1 - Magor

A job where you are in the driving seat!

As the face of Tesco out on the road, our LGV drivers get the opportunity to meet and talk to different colleagues at stores. That’s why this role is about much more than just driving: it's about helping others and delivering great service, with a smile.

You’ll meet great people, learn new things and be part of a specialist, diverse team, where everyone is welcome.

Working in Distribution. 

A store is only as good as the stock on its shelves. It’s essential that our distribution network is as good as it can be, because anything less than perfect means unhappy customers.

Fortunately, as leaders in logistics management, we are up to the task. Using the latest technology, we transport 60 million cases of goods to 3,000 stores every week.
