Night Yard Shunter (4 on 4 off)

We are looking for an experienced Yard Shunter to join our Tilbury depot, supporting a busy chilled logistics operation. This is a dedicated yard-based role, ideal for someone who has previous shunting experience and is looking for a stable, consistent shunting position rather than a driving role on the road.

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.
