Pertemps Didcot have an exciting opportunity for an HGV Class 1 (Cat C+E) Driver to work for one of the most prestigious Gas companies in the UK. The role will be based at their Thame depot but due to the nature of this role, this will involve regular nights away. 


This position is suited to someone either with experience within the gases sector or someone with the right attitude, who is eager to learn and step into a new career. Driving is only a proportion of this role, as the main factor of the job involves the safe movement and installation of gasses into equipment across various end clients.

Although the role stipulates the need for the ADR certification, training will be provided for the right candidate, therefore not essential to apply for the role but desirable. 


The company offer continuous work-related training programmes which in some cases count towards driver CPC modules, and once fully trained across the range of skills within the role, this then comes with an enhanced basic salary. Initial training programme will typically take an average of 6-9 months.

  • Driving a mixture of twin axle 14 tonne rigid vehicles up to 44 tonne articulated trucks 
  • Average of two deliveries per day – change deliveries as required based on customer requirement.
  • Deliveries and collections of Liquid Helium Dewars, Environmental cylinders and Cryospeed Dewars
  • NMR & Magnet filling (once fully trained)
  • Deliveries across the length and breadth of the UK 
  • Daily inspections of the vehicle and any specialised equipment 
  • Adhering to strict Health & Safety SOPs as directed by the company. 


To be successful as a HGV Class 1 Driver you will have the following skills and experience: 

  • A valid ADR certification in all classes except from 1 & 7 is (desirable)
  • Have held the HGV C+E entitlement for a minimum of 2 years, for insurance purposes.
  • In-date Drivers CPC 
  • Driving licence must not exceed 0 6 points (3 point max preferable) or include CU80, DD, IN10 or DR10 endorsements, for insurance purposes.
  • Basic numeracy and literacy skills
  • Good customer service skills and ability to be patient with others. 


Further information: 

  • Immediate start available following interview, drug & alcohol test and driving assessment.
  • An enhanced criminal record check will be carried out ahead of start date.
  • Delivery of gas dewars which involves manual handling; therefore, you must be physically fit.
  • Typically, Monday – Friday – start time normally 0700, however may be adjusted as required.
  • Occasional weekend work by agreement
  • Nights away, sometimes up to four nights in a row. Most nights out will be in a sleeper cab which is not shared; however, some occasions may occur which mean that hotel stays are required. 
  • Paid breaks
  • Additional weekend and bank holiday allowances
  • Nights out incur addition nightly payments. 
  • Excellent pension scheme

New Quantum Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Advancing Quantum Careers

Quantum computing is no longer confined to research labs. As companies convert quantum theory into testable products, algorithms, and computing platforms, demand for professionals with quantum knowledge — whether physics, algorithms, software development, or hardware engineering — is rising. In 2026, quantum computing organisations are securing significant funding, industry partnerships, and contracts across sectors such as energy, finance, telecommunications, defence, and healthcare. For candidates exploring opportunities on www.QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are hiring now and scaling quantum teams is crucial. This article profiles the new and high‑growth quantum computing employers to watch in 2026, with a specific focus on UK‑based innovators, international firms with UK operations, and leading global quantum organisations.

How Many Quantum Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Quantum Computing Job?

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting frontiers in science and technology — and the job market reflects that excitement. But for aspiring practitioners, the sheer number of tools, frameworks, programming languages and hardware platforms can feel overwhelming. One job advert mentions Qiskit, another talks about Cirq or Pennylane. You see references to quantum annealers and superconducting qubits, to measurement hardware and simulators, to noise mitigation libraries and cloud platforms. It’s easy to conclude that unless you master every quantum tool, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most quantum computing hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real problems and explain why your solutions work. Tools matter, but context, understanding, judgement and results matter more. So how many quantum computing tools do you actually need to know to succeed in a job search? The real answer is significantly fewer than most people assume — and far more focused by role. This article breaks down what tools really matter in quantum jobs, which ones are core, which are role-specific, and how you can build a coherent toolkit that employers actually value.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Quantum Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

Quantum computing is one of the fastest-evolving fields in technology, blending physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. Roles in this space — from Quantum Algorithm Developer and Quantum Software Engineer to Quantum Research Scientist and Quantum Hardware Specialist — are highly sought after, and hiring managers are exceptionally selective. Because quantum computing is complex and multidisciplinary, recruiters and hiring managers look for clear, concrete evidence of relevant expertise and impact right at the start of your application. They often decide whether to read your CV in detail within the first 10–20 seconds, based on a handful of high-value signals. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in quantum computing applications, how they assess CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to optimise your application to get noticed in the UK quantum job market.
