About the role

Tesco is looking for Customer Delivery Drivers to join its team in Killarney Park. The role is a hands-on, physically active position with frequent variety in day-to-day tasks, and you will often be the first representative customers meet. While you will work independently on deliveries for much of your shift, support is available from managers and colleagues at the base whenever needed.

Shift patterns vary, and the position involves a mix of delivery, customer service, and safe driving responsibilities.

• Deliver a strong home-shopping service by keeping customers at the centre of every interaction.
• Load the van when needed and confirm that it is roadworthy before setting off.
• Follow the route and schedule assigned for the shift.

• Drive carefully, responsibly, and in line with all legal requirements.
• Show courtesy to other road users at all times.
• Greet customers warmly and serve them in a friendly, personal way.
• Handle customer deliveries with the same care you would give your own items.

Requirements

• A full Irish or EU driving licence, manual or automatic, held for at least 2 years.
• No more than 3 penalty points on the licence.
• A safe and considerate driving style.
• A genuine interest in helping people.
• A personable manner, a good sense of humour, and strong communication skills.
• The confidence to use initiative and practical judgement.
• A customer- and colleague-focused attitude.
• The ability to remain composed when under pressure.

Applications from people who have been disqualified from driving within the last 10 years cannot be accepted.
