HGV class 1 driver jobs in Greenwich

Articulated work belongs to the freight transport by road industry. The 2024 Business Register and Employment Survey counted 200 employee jobs in it across Greenwich, 0.22% of the 92,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Trunking and tramping routes are planned around operating centres rather than around towns, so the Greenwich figure describes where the vehicles are based, not where the drivers live. The survey also counts 1,250 warehousing and storage jobs in Greenwich, which is what sits at one end of most class 1 runs.

Median full-time pay for a job based in Greenwich was £38,128 a year in 2025, across every occupation in the area together. It is not a driving figure, and no local driving figure is published anywhere, because earnings are not broken down by occupation at this level.

UK Business Counts recorded 100 freight transport by road workplaces in Greenwich at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. 95 of them, 95%, employ under ten. Artic work here comes from small yards rather than network depots.

Of the freight transport by road employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Greenwich, 40 are part time, 21.1% of the split. The middle across London is 20%, so Greenwich sits above it, 9th of 33 areas on this measure. A part-time share that size usually reflects weekend trunking and relief cover counted alongside the permanent fleet.

Two further counts round out the Greenwich picture: 80 employee jobs in postal and courier activities, and 1,530 employee jobs across freight, warehousing and courier work.

None of this counts adverts. It counts 200 jobs and 100 workplaces that already exist in Greenwich, which is a different thing from what is open to apply for today.
