Job Description

The Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and disciplined Class 1 Shunter to take ownership of our nocturnal yard operations. In this role, you serve as the primary conductor of our logistical flow, ensuring that every movement is executed with precision to maintain the integrity of our high-speed supply chain.

Key Responsibilities

• Precision Maneuvering: You will be responsible for the safe and efficient navigation of trailers and tug units throughout the yard. This requires exceptional spatial awareness and the ability to execute complex maneuvers in a fast-paced environment with zero margin for error.
• Systems & Compliance: Beyond physical movement, you will utilize our internal management systems to meticulously log all trailer transitions. You will champion our "Safety First" culture by conducting rigorous pre-use vehicle inspections and ensuring all yard protocols meet Tier 1 compliance standards.
• Operational Performance: Acting as the vital link between the warehouse floor and our fleet drivers, you will facilitate seamless communication. Your ability to synchronise with warehouse operatives ensures that loading bays are optimized and departure schedules are met without delay.

• The Vibe: You thrive in fast-paced environments and actually care about the "DPD DNA" - Passion, Respect, and Accountability.
• The Skills: You can maneuver in tight spots that would make others sweat. You’re proactive, physically fit, and ready to solve problems before they happen.
• The Tech-Savvy: You’re comfortable with basic digital logging (no paper mountains here).
