Location: Stanford-le-Hope / Tilbury, Essex
Salary: £15.00 – £16.00 per hour (Paid weekly)
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent (Agency contract with temp-to-perm potential)
Shift Pattern: 4 on 4 off rotation | 12-Hour Shifts 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM Days
About the Role:
Are you looking for a stable, long-term driving role without the stress of highway traffic, tight delivery windows, or strict tachograph regulations?
We are currently recruiting for dedicated Yard Shunter Operators to join a major logistics and distribution hub based in South Essex. This role is strictly site-based and completely off-road. Because you will not be driving on public highways, you do not need a valid HGV Class 1/2 Licence, Driver CPC, or a Digital Tachograph card to apply.
This is an excellent opportunity for experienced yard drivers, industrial tug operators, or commercial drivers looking to step away from long-distance haulage into a predictable, well-structured shift pattern.
Key Responsibilities:
* Safely and efficiently maneuver commercial trailers around a busy, fast-paced distribution yard using Terberg or specialized shunting tugs.
* Allocate trailers to designated loading bays in coordination with the warehouse warehouse operations team.
* Perform routine pre-shift safety inspections on the shunting vehicles and report any defects immediately.
* Ensure all trailer handovers are executed in compliance with site health and safety guidelines.
* Assist with basic yard management tasks and fleet coordination as required by the shift supervisor.
What We Are Looking For:
* Proven experience operating shunting tugs (Terberg, MAFI, or similar units) or heavy yard vehicles is highly desirable.
* A valid UK manual car driving licence (Category B) is essential.
* Comfort working a permanent 4-on-4-off shift pattern.
* A highly safety-conscious mindset with the ability to navigate a active, high-volume industrial environment.
* Reliable transport to the site location in South Essex due to the shift start and end times.
Benefits:
* Consistent 4-on-4-off schedule allowing for excellent work-life balance and predictable rest days.
* Weekly pay every Friday via the agency.
* Full site-specific training and asset induction provided on day one.
* Free on-site parking and fully equipped staff canteen facilities.
* Direct progression routes, with opportunities to transition onto the client’s permanent workforceBefore You Apply
