Join First Mile

Fueler is proud to be the retained recruitment partner for First Mile, one of London's leading commercial recycling companies.

This is not a traditional driving role.

You'll operate a Class 2 vehicle while collecting commercial waste and recycling across Central London and the City of London.

The role involves frequent stop-start driving, regular manual handling, and working outdoors in all weather.

Your Responsibilities

• Drive a 16-tonne Class 2 vehicle
• Collect recycling, general waste and food waste from commercial customers
• Load sacks and wheelie bins manually or using the vehicle's rear compactor
• Complete busy collection routes across Central London and the city
• Deliver excellent customer service while maintaining safe working practices

What You'll Receive

• £41,715-£47,895 depending on shift and location
• Permanent, full-time employment from day 1
• Overtime opportunities
• Performance bonuses and staff incentives
• Weekend allowance (where applicable)
• Training provided for all drivers
• Route familiarisation and ongoing support
• Long term career opportunities

About the Role

This is a highly active role rather than a driving only position.

You'll regularly get in and out of the vehicle, manually handle waste and recycling, and work at a fast pace throughout your shift.

If you're looking for a secure, well paid Class 2 driving role with genuine career prospects, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today to start your journey with First Mile.
