DHL
- Docklands, East London
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Strong work/life balance – most of our sites run from Monday to Friday, with 45 hour working weeks, 9 hour shifts per day, and typical starts from 5/6pm. Our well-organised shift schedules mean you often know in advance where you’ll be driving, taking the stress out of your day.
- The job security of a growing, global business. We operate a busy fleet – so there’s always all the work you need. If you want additional hours, you can have them, and we offer enhanced rates of pay for bank holidays and nighttime hours (10pm-6am).
- We’ll pay for your DCPC– and the hours you take to complete it. Our in-house training academy means you can do any training during work hours.
- Great benefits – from a generous pension and retail discounts, to perks like seasonal hampers throughout the year to say thanks for all your hard work.
- A friendly team – our drivers often stay with us for many years (we treat them well!) so you’ll be joining a friendly bunch who support each other through the shift – including sharing traffic updates through WhatsApp!
- Make sure Cages, Pallets, Freight, Stillages and Yorks get to and from customers bang on time. At some sites, the goods will be loaded or unloaded for you – at others, you’ll need to do it yourself. Scanning consignments and driving pallet trucks will sometimes be part of your day.
- Inspect your vehicle and trailer every day, and complete a Defect Report if necessary
- Make sure everything is ‘right first time’ for your customers, both internal and external. A great communicator, you’ll keep customers happy, and make sure any queries you can’t answer are passed on to your site manager quickly.
