Role overview

Tesco is looking for Customer Delivery Drivers in Clonmel to act as the face of the business for home delivery customers. This is a practical, active role with plenty of variation, and each shift can bring a different set of customer needs.

• Drive in a careful, lawful, and responsible manner at all times.
• Show courtesy to other road users.

• No more than 3 penalty points on your licence.
• A strong commitment to safe and courteous driving.
