• Collecting and delivering stock across the airport.
• Checking deliveries against manifests and reporting any shortages or damage.
• Completing daily vehicle checks and transport documentation.
• Maintaining regular communication with the warehouse management team.
• Working in accordance with Drivers' Hours, the Working Time Directive, health and safety procedures and road traffic legislation.
• Complying with Tachograph regulations and CPC requirements.
• Carrying out any other reasonable duties required to support the operation.

What we're looking for

• A reliable and professional approach with pride in delivering a high standard of work.
• The ability to provide a full 5-year checkable employment and/or education history to obtain an airside pass.
• A willingness to undergo pre-employment drugs and alcohol testing.
