DHL Supply Chain is one of the UK's leading logistics providers, keeping supply chains moving across the country every day. Behind the scenes, it's our people making it happen — safely, efficiently and reliably.
We're looking for a Class 1 HGV Driver (Shunter) to join our team on a customer site, where you'll play a key role in keeping trailer movements running smoothly and supporting day-to-day operations. This is a predominantly on-site role with minimal road driving, but strong driving standards and compliance are still essential.

✅A TYPICAL DAY MAY INVOLVE

  • Shunting trailers on-site for the majority of the shift (around 99% of the role)
  • Using a TUG to manoeuvre trailers safely and efficiently
  • Working closely with the on-site customer, maintaining a professional and positive approach at all times
  • Completing vehicle checks and ensuring all equipment is safe to use
  • Driving in line with Drivers' Hours and Working Time Directive regulations
  • Complying with all health and safety standards and site procedures

✅THIS ROLE WOULD SUIT PEOPLE WHO

  • Hold a valid HGV Class 1 Driving Licence (C+E), Driver CPC Qualification and Digital Tachograph Card
  • Are you confident with shunting and ideally have experience using a TUG?
  • Are you professional, reliable and comfortable working in a very customer-facing environment?
  • Can work effectively as part of a small team (you'll typically be working alongside one other shunter)

✅WHY JOIN US?

  • Free parking and on-site canteen
  • Join our generous pension scheme and benefit from an 8% employer contribution, alongside a 4% employee contribution
  • Free confidential 24/7 GP consultations
  • Hundreds of retail and lifestyle discounts
  • Affordable loans, savings schemes and free mortgage advice
  • Visit https://careers.dhl.com/global/en/working-at-dhl-supply-chain to learn more
