• Liaise with other departments to support smooth loading and unloading.
• Maintain high standards of health, safety, hygiene and housekeeping.

Qualifications

What we’re looking for

• Previous yard shunting experience is strongly preferred.
• Someone who wants a dedicated shunting role and understands the pace, safety standards and responsibility of working in a busy yard environment.
• Current or previous Class 1 licence experience is preferred, although the role is yard-based and does not involve public road driving as part of the core duties.
• A safety-first approach and confidence moving trailers in a live operational environment.
• Reliability, good communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a wider transport team.
