If you’re looking for job satisfaction and work life balance is important to you; if you want to work within a friendly team and take pride in your work, then this is the job for you.
At Chichester Contract Services we take pride in delivering a broad range of council services including maintenance of our parks and green spaces, keeping the district clear of litter and fly tips, collecting waste from residents and businesses, maintaining public conveniences and keeping our fleet of trucks on the road.
We’re looking for people to join our team who believe variety is the spice of life. People that love driving HGVs, physical work, being outdoors and can take change in their stride. One day you may be driving a refuse round collecting waste, the next you may be helping with a beach clean, repairing play equipment in one of our parks or delivering new waste bins to customers.
If you’re a HGV driver that likes variety in their working week then we’d love to hear from you.
