We are looking for an experienced and dependable Shunter Driver to support depot operations by safely moving trailers in and out of loading bays. This role is essential in ensuring a smooth flow of goods and efficient loading/unloading activities.

  * Communicate effectively with the traffic office, warehouse staff, and drivers

  * Follow all yard safety rules and site procedures

  * Maintain clean and safe working areas

  * Report any vehicle or trailer defects immediately

Requirements:

  * Valid C+E (Class 1) Driving Licence

  * Previous shunting or yard driving experience preferred

  * Strong awareness of depot safety procedures

  * Good communication skills

  * Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently

  * Must be comfortable working outdoors in all weather

The Offer:

  * Consistent hours with fixed day or night shift

  * Day Shift: Monday to Friday, 12:00 – 20:00

  * Night Shift: Monday to Saturday, 23:00 – 07:00
