Job description
Class 1 Driver - Days
45 hours per week, Monday to Friday
£33,460.99 per annum
ENJOY THE DRIVE!
At DHL eCommerce UK, we give our
Class 1 Drivers everything they need to enjoy the drive.
- A
lorry from our exceptional fleet of Volvo vehicles, all less than 4 years
old. They’re a joy to drive, and are equipped to a high specification,
including fridges, leather seats and many more optional extras to make
sure you’re comfortable .
- Strong
work/life balance – most of our sites run from Monday to Friday,
with 45 hour working weeks, 9 hour shifts per day. 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!
The job in a nutshell
We don’t micromanage our drivers. We
trust them to get the job done and plan their own routes. This job involves
trunking to regional hubs on the night shift. So, if you like the independence
of being out on the open road for long stretches – but also want to be home
again at the end of every 9-hour shift, this is the job for you. You’ll:
- 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.
What you’ll need to join us
- Class
1 Driving licence
- Driver
CPC qualification card
- Completed
required DCPC training hours or be working towards doing so
- Excellent
knowledge of Road Transport Laws – and commitment to safe use of the roads
- A
‘can do’ attitude
