The transport sector in Shepton Mallet offers diverse roles from Class 1 Night Drivers at £19/hour to a £60k Project Accountant contract.

If you've got a licence, a lunchbox and the ability to reverse without flattening anything, the transport sector's practically rolling out the red carpet.

The Class 1 Night Drivers role in Shepton Mallet pays £19 an hour and offers flexible shifts from one to five nights a week. It's palletised goods trunking, which is basically the trucker's version of a red-eye commute.

Daylight drivers aren't left out. The Class 2 Day Drivers position pays £16 an hour for 18-tonne truck deliveries and collections. Same roads, less moonlight.

Back at base, the Mobile Plant Fitter job offers around £45k, with overtime and bonus potential. It's workshop-based, with heavy machinery to wrangle and training thrown in.

The Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer gig clocks in at around £50k a year, working on automated production lines. Shift allowances, a pension, and enough flashing warning lights to keep things interesting.

Prefer the indoors and a spreadsheet? The Project Accountant contract in Castle Cary offers up to £60k plus bonus for six months of finance process improvements. If you've got opinions about forecasting and love a Gantt chart, this is your moment.

The Business Analyst Placement Programme in Shepton is a rare find — £40k indicative pay and full training for aspiring analysts. If you've always wanted to say "let's circle back on that" with credibility, now's your chance.

Payday running late? Not on this watch. The Payroll Administrator role in Bruton pays £32k pro rata for a part-time, four-day week gig. End-to-end payroll with less full-time drama.

Down the road at Torr Quarry, the Forklift Operator job pays £13.56 an hour for Monday to Friday shifts. You'll need the licence and the knack for not denting anything expensive.

Green energy meets clipboard in the Feedstock Co-ordinator job at Shepton's anaerobic digestion plant. Up to £40k a year for managing incoming material, keeping things ticking, and reporting those all-important KPIs.

Food factories more your flavour? The Production Operative role pays from £12.60 an hour for work on production lines. Packaging, quality checks and hygiene compliance make up most of the day.

And for those with a softer skillset, the SEND Specialist Tutor role pays £25 to £30 an hour to work 1:1 with pupils unable to attend mainstream schools. Compassion, flexibility and a decent pen case required.

That's the Shepton scene for this week. If none of that suits, maybe the right job's one click away on the Shepton Mallet Nub News jobs board. Get scrolling before someone else nabs the forklift.
