LGV Car Transporter Driver – North East job at Sunderland Full Time

Ready to Drive Your Career Forward?

Whether you’re an experienced transporter driver or an LGV driver ready to specialise, ECM offers the support, stability, and opportunity to build a lasting career.

We are looking for holders of an LGV Class 1 (C+E) licence with at least two years’ general LGV driving experience. Unfortunately, we are unable to progress applications that do not meet these criteria.

About Us

ECM (Vehicle Delivery Service) Ltd operates one of the UK’s largest and most established car transporter fleets, with more than 500 vehicles and a reputation built since 1979 on reliability, customer satisfaction and operational excellence. As part of the Constellation Automotive Group, we offer secure, long‑term employment within a stable and well‑respected organisation where drivers are genuinely valued.

We encourage safe, steady, customer‑focused driving rather than rushing or cutting corners, ensuring every journey meets ECM’s high standards. You’ll be supported by our on‑it Traffic Team, in‑house Bodyshops, Workshops, Depot Operations and wider office teams. We recognise the high level of skill, responsibility and professionalism involved in transporting vehicles nationwide, and we take pride in supporting our drivers as the experts they are.

The Role

In this role, you’ll be responsible for completing national vehicle deliveries using 11+ transporter equipment, carrying out your work safely and professionally across the UK. Each day will involve hands‑on tasks such as loading and unloading vehicles, working at height, and operating in all weather conditions, so confidence in the physical aspects of the job is essential. You’ll also be entrusted with handling a wide range of vehicle products, including prestige brands, ensuring every collection and delivery is managed with care and precision. Accurate completion of delivery documentation is a key part of the role, and throughout each job you’ll represent ECM with the professionalism and high standards our customers expect.
