DHL is seeking a Class 1 Driver for daytime delivery and collection work in the United Kingdom. Candidates typically need a valid UK Category C+E licence, Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), digital tachograph card and a safe driving record. Previous HGV or multi-drop delivery experience is preferred. The role involves vehicle inspections, route planning, securing loads, completing delivery paperwork, operating safely around customers and sites, and providing professional customer service. Candidates are expected to be punctual, reliable, physically capable of handling freight, and willing to follow DHL’s health, safety, security and compliance procedures. Flexibility, teamwork and good communication skills are important, as schedules and workloads may vary.
DHL is a leading global logistics and transportation company, operating across express delivery, freight forwarding, supply chain management and e-commerce logistics. As part of DHL Group, it serves businesses and consumers in more than 220 countries and territories. In the United Kingdom, DHL employs delivery drivers, warehouse teams, transport specialists, engineers, customer service staff and corporate professionals. The company’s operations include parcel and freight delivery, contract logistics, international shipping and supply-chain solutions. DHL promotes structured training, workplace safety, operational efficiency and customer-focused service. Benefits and employment conditions vary by business unit and contract, but may include holiday entitlement, pension contributions, employee discounts and opportunities for career progression. A Class 1 Driver contributes directly to DHL’s transport network by moving freight safely and reliably between depots, customers and distribution sites.
The United Kingdom offers employment opportunities in logistics, transport, warehousing, healthcare, construction, technology, finance and hospitality. Major logistics hubs include London, the Midlands, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol and Glasgow. British culture values punctuality, privacy, politeness and clear communication, while workplaces are generally diverse and regulated. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to quieter coastal and rural communities; public transport is strongest in larger cities. Housing and living costs are highest in London and the South East. EU and other overseas nationals should check the latest UK immigration rules before accepting a job. A valid work visa is required unless you hold British or Irish citizenship, settled status or another permission to work. HGV driver sponsorship is not normally available, so candidates should confirm eligibility directly with DHL and the UK government. Relocating requires planning for accommodation, National Insurance, banking, tax registration and a UK driving licence or exchange requirements.
