    Job Description:

    Ferns Group are a family run business with over 25 years’ experience as an established Utilities and Reinstatement company, specialising in Telecoms Civils, and tailored reinstatement services.

    Our Mission is “to be the preferred choice in our field by adding value to our business partners without compromise to quality, safety or the environment.”​

    Overview
    We are looking for a reliable, proactive, and hands‑on Driver & Vehicle Operations Assistant to join our team. This varied role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on the move, working with vehicles, and supporting a wide range of operational tasks across the business.

    You will be responsible for transporting vehicles, preparing them for operational use or resale, carrying out basic checks and fit‑outs, and assisting wherever needed to keep the fleet and wider team running smoothly. This is a great opportunity for a motivated individual who likes a mix of driving, practical work, and general support duties in a fast‑paced environment.

    Key Responsibilities

    Vehicle Movement & Driving

    • Safely collect, deliver, and reposition company vehicles across various locations.
    • Drive a range of vehicle types, ensuring they are handled responsibly and professionally.
    • Assist with arranging vehicle transport and logistics when required.

    Vehicle Preparation & Fit‑outs

    • Help maintain accurate vehicle documentation, service history, and status updates.
    • Work closely with the Transport team to ensure all vehicle data is up to date.
    • Support ad‑hoc duties across the business — a true “can‑do” role where no two days are the same.

    Skills & Requirements

    • Confident and competent driver with a full UK driving licence (max 6 points).
    • Practical, hands‑on approach with willingness to turn your hand to a variety of tasks.
    • Basic understanding of vehicle mechanics is beneficial but not essential.

    • Reliable, organised, and able to prioritise work effectively.
