OfficeLeeds, England, United Kingdom

Job Description

The Role: Master of the Yard 

We’re looking for an experienced Class 1 Shunter to own the night shift. You aren’t just moving trailers; you’re the conductor of a high-speed logistical symphony.

  • Precision Moves: Safely navigating trailers and tugs through the yard with expert spatial awareness.
  • Tech & Safety: Using our systems to log movements, conducting pre-use checks, and keeping our "Safety First" culture alive.
  • Team Synergy: Collaborating with warehouse legends and drivers to keep the flow seamless.
  • Agility: Helping out with inventory or local runs when things get quiet—no two nights are the same.

 

Qualifications

What You Bring to the Team 

  • The Credentials: A Class 1 LGV Licence (C + E) and a current Driver CPC.
  • The Vibe: You thrive in fast-paced environments and actually care about the "DPD DNA" - Passion, Respect, and Accountability.
  • The Skills: You can maneuver in tight spots that would make others sweat. You’re proactive, physically fit, and ready to solve problems before they happen.
  • The Tech-Savvy: You’re comfortable with basic digital logging (no paper mountains here).

Additional Information

    Why DPD? (More than just a paycheck) 

    We know you work to live, not the other way around. That’s why we offer:

    • Financial Wins: Discounted shopping (5% off groceries!), 4x salary life assurance, and a solid pension.
    • Your Time, Your Way: Holiday trading and Milestone Days Off to celebrate what matters to you.
    • Wellness First: 24/7 mental and physical health support via Help@Hand, plus Vitality at Work and onsite health kiosks.
    • Career Growth: We don't just hire; we develop. We love promoting from within—show us your drive, and we’ll help you "level up."
    • The Gear: Modern, well-maintained fleet, free uniform, and fully funded CPC renewals.
