Who we are

Hamilton Ross Group is one of the UK’s largest machinery dealerships. We have been trading since 1933, we are in our third generation of family ownership, and around 200 people work with us across nine depots in Scotland and the north of England. We represent major brands like Massey Ferguson, Valtra, Fendt, JCB, Wacker Neuson, Kubota, Honda, Stihl and Husqvarna.

The role

You’ll spend most of your day on the road, collecting and delivering machinery and equipment to customers and between our depots. You’ll operate a pickup and trailer and/or beavertail car transporter, planning each movement carefully and making sure every load is safe, secure and ready for transport.

Back at the depot, you’ll complete vehicle and trailer checks, keep paperwork accurate and help the wider team when needed. You’ll also be one of the faces our customers see, so a professional, courteous approach matters just as much as safe driving.
