The posting

Optime Group is recruiting experienced HGV Class 2 Drivers to support a major recycling operation at Gatwick Airport.

This is not a long-distance driving position. You'll be driving around Gatwick Airport, collecting domestic and commercial waste and recycling from terminals and operational areas before transporting it back to the airport recycling centre.

Please note that this is a physically active role and not solely a driving position.

Start Date: 7th September 2026

  • Location: Gatwick Airport
  • Pay: £17.82 per hour
  • Shift Pattern: 4 on, 4 off (subject to change)
  • Shift Times: 18:00 - 06:00
  • Weekly pay (every Friday)
  • Staff parking
  • Temp to perm opportunities (subject to performance and business requirements)

Shifts

You'll work on a 4 on, 4 off rolling rota. As Gatwick Airport operates 24/7, shift patterns may be adjusted to meet operational requirements.

Example rota:

  • Day 1: 18:00 - 06:00
  • Day 2: 18:00 - 06:00
  • Day 3: 18:00 - 06:00

  • Maintaining regular communication with the operational team.
  • Working in accordance with Drivers' Hours, the Working Time Directive and Tachograph regulations.
  • Following all airport security procedures and health and safety requirements.

What you'll need

  • A valid UK Class 2 (Category C) Driving Licence.
  • At least one year's professional HGV Class 2 driving experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
