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 operations team.
- Perform routine pre-shift safety inspections on the shunting vehicles and report any defects immediately.
