Job Role: HGV Driver

You will drive a lorry from our exceptional fleet of Volvo vehicles, all less than 4 years old. They’re a joy to drive, equipped with high specifications including fridges, leather seats, and many optional extras for your comfort.

Most of our sites operate from Monday to Friday, with 45-hour workweeks and 9-hour shifts starting typically at 7 or 8 am. Our well-organized shift schedules often inform you in advance of your driving locations, reducing daily stress.

This role offers job security within a growing, global business. We operate a busy fleet, ensuring continuous work and the opportunity for additional hours. We also provide enhanced pay rates for bank holidays and night shifts (10 pm - 6 am). Join a friendly team—our drivers often stay with us for many years as we value and support our staff, sharing traffic updates via WhatsApp!

Key Responsibilities

We trust our drivers to plan their routes without micromanagement. Typically, a shift involves 4 to 6 stops, allowing ample time to enjoy the open road while returning home after each 9-hour shift.

Your duties include ensuring timely delivery of cages, pallets, freight, stillages, and Yorks to and from customers. Loading and unloading responsibilities vary by site; some sites handle it for you, others require you to do it yourself. Tasks may include scanning consignments and driving pallet trucks.

You are responsible for daily vehicle and trailer inspections, completing defect reports as needed.

Maintaining a 'right first time' approach for internal and external customers, you will communicate effectively to keep customers satisfied, escalating unresolved queries to your Site Manager promptly.

Ideal Candidate

• Class 1 Driving Licence
• Completed or working towards DCPC training hours
• Excellent knowledge of Road Transport Laws and a commitment to road safety
• A proactive, 'can do' attitude

Career Development

We are committed to our employees' career growth through dedicated learning and development programs and an inclusive culture where everyone's voice is valued, allowing you to shape your future at DHL eCommerce UK.
