Customer Delivery Driver - Finglas Clearwater

About the role

Tesco is looking for Customer Delivery Drivers to join the team in Finglas Clearwater, Dublin. This role is central to the customer experience, as you are the first person many shoppers meet.

• Deliver a high-quality home shopping service by keeping the customer at the centre of every delivery.
• Load the van where needed and make sure the vehicle is roadworthy before setting off.
• Follow the planned schedule and delivery route provided to you.
• Present yourself well in uniform and be ready to assist customers.
• Drive safely, responsibly and in line with road laws.
• Show courtesy and consideration to everyone on the road.

• No more than 3 penalty points on your licence.
• A safe, considerate and responsible approach to driving.
• A genuine enjoyment of helping other people.
• A friendly personality, a good sense of humour and strong communication skills.
• The confidence to take initiative and use common sense.
• A customer- and colleague-focused attitude.
• The ability to stay composed when work is busy or demanding.
